The quality of the x's has an influence on whether NT or S is better but assuming tiddlers and a transfer "bail-out"...
Most of them, ;D.
The exceptions would be 3, 4 & 5 (is 5 missing an Ace?). Many of them I would not regard as a "bail-out", several of them are candidates for 1NT-2H-3S-4S if P "super-accepts".
