General question for the forum

So, I have my free submissions from PCGS and NGC. All together, I can submit 13 coins, 8P & 5N. I really don't have a strong opinion on submitting certain coins other than say 3 or 4. The rest of my potential coins are pretty equal to me. Here is the question. Which of these coins would you submit and to which service? If you would like to include a brief explanation, it would be appreciated.

China 1909 20 cash, fengtien. The variety sells for several hundred dollars in xf45, this one is at least Au.
China 1900-06 Five Cash. "Eive" variety. Sales are all over, nice coin maybe Au.
Ireland 1943 1/2 crown VGish. 500 known?
Ireland 1805 penny nice chocolate Au+
Ireland 1823 penny brown hints of red AU+
Mexico 1916 1 centavo. Key date vf35ish
Italy 1919 10 centesimi. Key date XFey
French Somaliland 1949 1 Franc, 1948 2 Franc & 1948 5 Franc all UNC perfect
Sarawak 1933 1/2 cent UNC red
Chile 1933 Peso UNC
Spain 1941 5 centimes UNC
Ireland 1690 Crown
Ireland 1689 1/2 Crown
Ireland 1942 1/2 Crown UNC cool color
Mauritius 1911 cent and 2 cents UNC muted red
Panama 1940 2&1/2 cents UNC+
British North Borneo 1935 1 cent UNC
British North Borneo 1938 5 Cents UNC
India 1835 1/4 Anna AU-MS
Switzerland 1932 2 Rappen UNC blazing red perfection
Ireland 1804 6 shillings bank token AU++, possible hairlines, struck over 1794 Mexican 8 Reales.

Edit: thank you in advance for any replies.

    I'll give it a shot. Can you submit the Chinese coins with the PCGS certificates? I'll assume you can.

    The Chinese coins are definitely worth submitting. No idea on the Irish, but I'd definitely take out of the list the 2 North Borneos, since they are not proofs and the 1/4 Anna ,of which a few hoards of gems have appeared on the market which has since become very demanding on the grade. On the other hand, if these are all for sale, your 1933 Swiss 2 rappen perfection is not worth submitting, based on its resale value, unless it's a gem+ RD specimen. Why not post them to the Buy/Sell/Trade W&A forum with your asking prices and images if possible, and see if and what sells very quick, and then submit the rest, or the best of the rest.

    The grading company to which you will submit is indifferent to me personally, even though I tend to prefer coins in PCGS holders. But it's the coin I'm buying, not the plastic.

    As for the Swiss 2 rp, I'm interested in purchasing it raw, and you can PM me an asking price ,preferably with an image.
