(Assuming it says on the runway, of course.

Whichever one is cheaper like the rest of the country would?
I don't think you have much to worry about, assumming UA doesn't wire the antiskid wrong (again)

SAFETY BOARD ISSUES UPDATE ON JACKSON HOLE RUNWAY EXCURSION
************************************************** **********
In its continuing investigation of an incident in which a
United Airlines Airbus A-320 jetliner departed the runway
during landing at Wyoming's Jackson Hole Airport on the
evening of February, 25, 2008, the National Transportation
Safety Board (NTSB) has developed the following factual
information during its on-scene investigation.
The airplane came to rest 116 feet past the end of the
runway and 140 feet to the right of the runway centerline.
A heavy skid mark was found on the runway associated with
the inboard tire of the left main landing gear. This tire
was found deflated and showed wear consistent with a skid.
Upon exiting the runway, both engines ingested snow and
sustained internal damage. The aircraft itself was not
substantially damaged.
Examination of the left main landing gear brakes revealed
that the inboard and outboard wheel speed tachometer wires
were cross-connected. Such a configuration would be likely
to cause the antiskid system to use the inboard wheel speed
to control the outboard braking, and vice versa. In such a
situation, it would be likely that when the inboard tire
began to skid, the antiskid system would release the
pressure on the outboard brake instead of the inboard brake.
Examination of maintenance records indicated that both main
landing gear units were replaced on the incident airplane in
early February 2008.
The Safety Board is also investigating
another United A-320 incident with similar circumstances
that occurred on October 9, 2007 (see CHI08IA026 at
http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?e...023X01635&key=
1).
Another area of the investigation is the inoperability of
one of the emergency evacuation slides. The slide at the
front left door deployed when the door was opened during the
evacuation but did not inflate. The manufacturer of the
slide will assist the NTSB in its investigation of the cause
of the failure.
Information obtained from the flight data recorder (FDR) and
the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) is being analyzed at the
Safety Board's laboratory in Washington.
Investigators are continuing to gather factual information
in aircraft performance, human factors and other areas.
