AOL has about 100M shares outstanding and the possibility of being bought out from a short position in a panic crash, although exists, is very small (based on the possibility of a crash occuring in the market and AOL's multi-year chart which does not show huge one day drop).
This has to be weighed against high options premiums and their expiration risks with AOL.
I prefer being short because that offers currently more flexibility against options because I think it will slowly sink; options are OK if you are looking for a couple of points.
