Id pick the communities instance because that's the one responsible for federating the post and comments. Id only choose the instances a or c if b is or is planning to shutdown, or if I really wanted to show people what my home instance is

Theoretically, it shouldn't matter.
In the ideal case every connected server should host a full and complete copy of the data from the originating server (as xkdrxodrixkr@feddit.org says, that's B)
Reality is a bit different, but not enough to warrant always picking B. Just share whichever you'd like, but B is the most right.
