Hi Phil,
This is just my opinion and I do understand how important clinical trials are (although up here in Canada, they're not as commonly offered as an option).
If you had a non-malignant form of bone marrow disease, like my son had (AA), I might say a non-myeloablative prep is a fair option but given your leukemia, and a tougher one at that being AML, I personally would want to have it hit hard with full myeloablation to reduce the liklehood of relapse as much as possible.
Best wishes, which ever route you choose.
