Which would you research first, and why?

As posted on another forum I'm curious which award you would research first?  And also why?

(Too bad there's no poll option that I can find.)

I'd say ORB first, since it's a relatively early award, the highest award of the bunch, and these Red Banners could be awarded for practically anything. Then Nevsky - ORS - BM - CSM - OG2 - OG3. Early BMs and CSMs can yield surprisingly good research. Some people would put the Glories higher on the list, but I've never been a fan of these - there's much less diversity in their citations.

Interesting take.  That ORB is pretty early.  And the CSM is even earlier; would be interesting to see what actions entailed that award.

And I think everybody with an OG2, myself included, hope to find out it's part of a cavalier group.
