Diving Loop or Immelman?

out with a 7foot lift, then a drop, 3 foot vertical loop, & a cutback. Following the
cutback, I have a bunny hill and a barrel roll planned. Then, I plan on having a 180
degree turnaround to the left so the train is traveling right next to and parellel to the lift
hill. I will use the 1st lift hill supports to build the 2nd lift hill. The 2nd lift will be about
5feet. Then after the drop, I haven't decided which inversion to choose.
After the drop I want an inversion that will get the train traveling back towards the
start. I decided on using either an immelman or diving loop.
Which do you
think I should choose?
Here are pics of each:

coaster)
Immelman 2 (this is an immelman on an invert; my coaster
isn't an invert)

about it you should go with the immelman because there would be too much force
going into a dive loop after a first drop, which could account for a dramatic loss in
speed so thats my
final decision
