As a survivor, what would be your preference?
Still in a soloQ early match, you've been hooked by the killer already and were rescued before struggle. Killer goes and hooks a second survivor. In the meantime, you are working on another gen as the Killer rounds the corner and catches you off guard and downs you. Without knowing almost anything of the killer's motivations, and not really knowing what calibur of teammates you have, would you prefer:
A) Killer picks you up and slaps you on a hook.
B) Killer leaves you slugged.
Both have consequences that depend on your teammates being competent and not quickly being tied down by the killer. The one piece of information you have seen is the killer is not camping hooks.

Killer's not camping, and went after someone else after hooking me ?
If I get caught then it's really on me. I'd be more confused/wary if killer didn't hook.
In that scenario I don't prefer one over the other, I generally don't like being slugged, but earlier experience seems to indicate the killer plays normaly and hooks, so if I'm slugged it's probably because killer saw someone near or something, which is understandable...

Option B.
Being slugged may be boring, but at the very least I am not automatically one step closer to my death. There is still a chance for my teammates to save me.

Depends on the killer

I ask because as a killer who goes for 8 rotating hooks before i consider saccing someone, I often run into this situation where I am looking for the next survivors in the first rotation, but run into a survivor I've already hooked sitting on a gen, often unhealed. Now I could ignore them, but I also need pressure and to keep them off the gens. At the same time, too often do I hook a survivor out of rotation only to either have potato survivors let them die on hook or I accidentally put too much pressure on the survivors and again end up with someone dying on second hook.
My solution up to this point has been to slug them and move on knowing that it gives them more time for their teammates to pick them up, and I have the safety net of being able to go back and pick them up myself to let them wiggle off if thier teammates potato out on them. Doing so though always leaves me feeling bad for leaving them on the ground even though it's the safer option.
Hence me trying to feel out what survivor opinions might be.

I prefer being slugged because I now run UnbreakaBill instead of SpineChill.

In that case, slug. If I were actually getting focused, however, I much prefer the old hookaroo.

I understand ! I generally play kinda friendly and try to rotate, but there are times this one survivor who's on second hook is just EVERYWHERE you go for some reason.
I personally don't slug, because I have such a bad memory that most times I know I won't find them again, and since I'm often running Hex : Third Seal their teammates can't see them either. It happened once that I let someone on the ground and forgot where, guy had to DC after 3 full minutes on the ground and none of his teammates finding him. When I checked his steam page after the match, guy only had like, 10 hours on the game. I felt SO BAD !

I haven't played for awhile but either one depending on the killer.
Killers need to make use of every advantage they can get. If you get caught off guard, that's your own fault. And if the killer downed you in 1 hit you should have healed (I always run self care solo).
Regardless of if the killer camps hooks (which isn't an issue if you have competent team mates), survivors can easily win solo.
