Morning run in high peaks area

I posted a few weeks ago about trail running in the high peaks area and footwear. With that post came some GREAT recommendations. I have three mornings to fill with runs next weekend and have a few thoughts going into it. Please share any other recommendations or thoughts. I'll be hitting trail heads at 5am (crowds generally not being considered as a result) and looking for routes that get me up high, great views, and home quickly (tall order I know).

Algonquin- number 2 in height, great scenery, short mileage. Understood this would be a "shuffle" at the fastest

Giant- short mileage, great view, free to park (?)

Big slide over brothers- tons of elevation change and views

Whiteface- average mileage, great view

Indian head - not a high peak technically but what a view

Cascade/porter- short, great view but have done it too many times. Saving for a back up if weather looks iffy and I want something I can back out of quick

Thought?!
