Which Lugia should I power up?

I want to max a Lugia for Master Tier. I have 3 options:

Level + IVs : Dust to Final : Candies to Final : Final CP

A. L33 : 14/15/14 : 116,000 : 150 : 3677

B. (Lucky) L25 : 12/14/15 : 97,000 : 220 : 3644

C. L20 : 15/14/13 : 225,000 : 248 : 3682

None of them has the 2nd Charged Attack unlocked at the moment, but the chosen one will get its 2nd Charge. Which one would you choose? Thanks!

The difference in IVs/CP is going to be fairly inconsequential between all three options.

As such, go for the one that is going to be the least costly for you, whether that be stardust or candy, i.e. a decision between A and B. Personally, I'd go with option A.

Either A or C for me, probably A, because then if you max C, A will be in an awkward spot at level 33.

A because despite being a bit more expensive in stardust, you're saving a good 70 candies which will go towards your second move, definitely worth a second move. Candies are going to be more difficult to get than stardust after this event.

For sure A. Require less precious Rare Candies and cost only 19 k dust more to max lvl than lucky one, and for me defence is most important in PVP among three stats. However its just 1 point, but still :)

Enjoy your Lugia in battles! :)

Finish powering up A for masters. Stats are not significantly different. Already invested a lot of candy anyway.

Hold onto B and for the negligible chance that Niantic ever provides a choice to de-level pokemon. At level 24, 12a/14d/15s will be 2498cp.

It's a choice between A and B for me. If you have the Stardust, go with A.

If you have like 1200+ rare candy, then maybe B.

Choose the lucky lugia. The ivs here make such a slight difference here, you won't notice it. So I will choose the stardust efficient (and cooler) way.

Level 33 to 40: 116K stardust and 150 candy.
Lucky 25 to 40: 97K stardust and 220 candy.

The lucky is only 19K stardust less, but 70 more rare candy.
