Depends on your budget, but the rebuys have a huge amount of dead money in them. The $11 one is best but the $3 is ok if you haven't got at least $50 to put in the $11. You really need to push the advantage of not playing scared in the first hour.
Starting tables is the nuts.
BTN: $25.75 (103 bb)
Hero (BB): $25 (100 bb)
Pre-Flop: Hero is BB with 7:club: 9:club:

Hero checks, BTN bets $0.75, Hero raises to $3, BTN calls $2.25

Hero showed 7:club: 9:club: (two pairs, Nines and Sevens) and won $49.50 ($24.50 net)
And so is starting deep tables 😛

Moved up to the 3 dollar sit and gos yaaaay.
Lost loads of money yaaaaaaaaay.
My Full house gets busted on the river yaaaaaaay
My flopped straight gets runner runnered
Man U win and that makes me sad. 🙁
Sigh after losing most my bankroll on last failed move up attempt I am a little gutted bubbled in three sngs so far and just getting genrally beat up. I took some horrendous beats but I know some of the blame is mine, just seems when I try to move up It all goes t1ts up.
3 more buy-ins tomorrow after this game I am playing and I move back down if things do not improve. Grumble Grumble.

I got knocked out on back to back hands in that one today... QK on the btn, gets a QK2 flop, I shoved and got called by a short stack with AJ who hit a T on the river. (no he didn't have any flush draws)
Next hand I shoved AA, got called by 33 and you can figure out the rest.
I used to avoid playing people with short stacks heads up because I figured I was going to win like $15 if I stack them. But I never realized how fun it is to tilt them and take all of their money. I just played a guy who started with $20, we played for like 30 minutes of me chipping him down and I finally stacked him and say a simple "thanks". Then he reloads with another 20 and shoves with a gutshot, I say "thanks man" again and he reloads with 20 more and loses that almost instantly. Then he reloads with 36.77 and spews that off and leaves. I guess I busted his roll, poor guy. :\
I never realized how saying "thanks" after you stack someone can tilt someone so badly, it's great.

Bleh.

I'm surprised I haven't killed someone today.... or even myself for that matter. I'm surprised I'm actually typing this out on my laptop, and it's not actually embedded in the tv or something.
Today is without doubt, the most tiltest I have ever felt playing poker. I'm actually 1 buy in down after 5k hands, and I really want to scream! I have never seen so many ppl hit the river today in my life. Every hand I have had I'm ahead to the turn betting away with a nice hand, or calling down with a marginal on a scary board, and ****in BOOM, they hit the river. FML, IMO!
