I am trying to insert a small protein into a membrane so I think I should choose 0 or 5 depending on whether I should keep the water molecules.  I mean maybe I should remove the water and choose 5 because I am inserting the protein into the membrane and the water molecules around the protein would get in the way?  I want to simulate the membrane with water molecules around it, though.

In this case, the choice of output is largely irrelevant.  The subsequent 
construction steps will remove water either way.
