Hard to say its far more likely, because the exact odds of any of those things is really unknown. Esp. the nuclear war because 1 - We have no "on the average it occurs every X years data, since we've only had nukes for a bit over 60 years, and 2 - It would be caused by the decisions of people and people are hard to predict.

That 2nd point also applies to any new great depression. We might take really negative actions that could lead to one. My statement implying very low odds, assumes no new really massive and unusually foolish action by the fed, congress, or the administration (either the current one or the new one next year), but that isn't really a safe assumption.
