whats preferable?

So I am ignorant here, but wondering what others think the market (sp) would prefer in the short term with goldcorp funding. Would their involvement and the subsequent project dilution be preferable to debt funding from a third party? I know that its unlikely that they will be involved, but still curious to know what people think it would mean if they were.
Clearly capital raising via share issue would be the worst case scenario for the st sp?
