How would you pick your execution method?

Much of the press acted surprised that a man in South Carolina chose to be executed by firing squad, rather than lethal injection. But these "lethal injection" methods usually seem to use muscle paralyzers, which essentially cause the person to suffocate to death, unable to breathe. His choice seemed rational to me.

"...Sigmon chose firing squad over the two other state-approved methods of execution, lethal injection or the electric chair. He was pronounced dead by a physician at 6:08 p.m. ET, officials said at a news conference Friday... “He chose the firing squad knowing that three bullets would shatter his bones and destroy his heart,” King said in a statement. “But that was the only choice he had, after the state’s three executions by lethal injection inflicted prolonged and potentially torturous deaths on men he loved like brothers.”...". 

Of course, there are ways to use lethal injections without paralytics, but I don't think any states use those methods.
