Noose. At least I would die in a standing position.
If they tied the noose wrong you would end up being strangled. I'd rather just lose my head.
There is always a chance someone will rescue you from the noose. Also, bowels let loose after the guillotine, I believe
You don't actually live anymore after you are decapitated. There are just basic reflexes that will still be executed for a short while after your death. Meaning if your head is held towards the sun after he is cut off you'll still close the eyes. Anyway... I really wouldn't want to shit my pants in the moment I die (this is actually true).
Guillotine doesn't have the same connotations of shame as the noose... stupidity, yes, but also revolution, and the Middle Ages!
Short and sweet, maybe throw the crowd a wink when they lift your head for dramatic effect. And as South Park stated, if one is hanged their bowels let loose.
Really people? I'd want my body to be in one piece at my funeral. Also, I've heard that you live for a few brief moments after getting the guillotine. That would just be freaky.
