They are all different, and I'll add two points:

 

  1. Wildcards don't work in data group entries

     

  2. You'll have the best luck with entries that have the most "match-ability". So A) above would probably be your best bet. Your class command is going to have access to evaluations like "starts_with", "contains", and "equals", so unless you need an exact match, the data group item should be less specific then the value you're trying to compare it to.
