Deciding which events to swim

Its mostly hypothetical - I was just psyching myself out by looking at the national sheets where I'm not entered. However in the past, if 2 events I want to swim end up back to back, I have had to choose. As far as satisfaction goes....I expect to get a LOT of satisfaction completing the 200 fly but am likely to be really slow, so getting, say a 6th place would seem like "cheating", whereas still being able to pull off a fast-for-me 50 fly feels great until I look at the long list of sprinters faster than me. Just wondering how the rest of you think..... I like the idea of top 10 in everything once, but I'd need to live a long long time to get top 10 in a 50!
