Asymmetrically Sign Cleartext before Symmetrically Encrypting it

How to pick a symmetric cipher for a given cipher text size?
The -and- version I think is the diciest version of the three. Encrypt-then-mac would probably be my choice unless I'm missing something right now. But yes, truncate the HMAC to the desired size. With half of the bits missing, this opens one to even more collisions but your answer did say it didn't have to last forever.
