Heaven sounds like the one I would like most, but the one I actually believe in is ''sleep'' then bodily resurrection.

I believe in heaven, then bodily resurrection for a new heavens and a new Earth.

Purgatory, reincarnation or annihilation are the only two that make sense to me.

Two, four, and five, hell for the wicked.

Of course, my denomination fervently endorses Option 4, but I don't consider it so much to be a literal "sleep" as a figure of speech meant to imply that the dead are unaware of anything.  (Jesus clearly implied that he was speaking figuratively about death as sleep in John 11:11-14, because He corrected the disciples when they though He was speaking of literal sleep.)

Ultimately, however, it doesn't matter to me what happens at death, because it's only temporary until the final resurrection.

I'm not sure whether I'm already God or will just become God in the afterlife.

Anything other than that is unacceptable.

Interesting that, after heaven, there is such a close, multi-way tie...

That's likely because of the ambiguity in the original question. Is an option "acceptable" only if it's one you'd personally care to experience or is it "acceptable" if you're okay with the outcome as a possible result for people.

I'd be ambivalent-to-accepting about everything other than going to hell, and actively happy about going to heaven or having a felicitous reincarnation.

Pretty much this, although the first option is... complicated for me.

Annihilation.

Anything else is just an appeal to my ego Smiley

I did like a conversation I had once when I was told that 'you and your husband' would end up in hell for all the gay stuff and said; cool, we'd be in the same place. That wouldn't be hell.

Besides Hell, Purgatory, and Nothing...anything is acceptable.

What makes purgatory unacceptable, out of curiosity?

When purgatory is about healing/cleansing to get to go to heaven, that's much better than there being a hell.

I was literally answering the question. I was literally saying option 1.

At this point none of the above.
Any afterlife makes no sense and no afterlife isn't much fun. Death makes no sense.
The time to think about an afterlife is if you are dead. Before that focus on this life and making it better. I believe in life after birth.
