D&D 5E What would you prefer, and why? A question on attacks

Oh this is where the title goes?
True enough...
Attack 1: Shove prone (disadvantage doesn't matter)
Attacks 2-5: Normal attacks
(I guess that assumes your source of disadvantage doesn't apply to checks. So that depends what the situation is.)

Really depends. Advantage and disadvantage mean more near the 50/50 mark. I had a character with a +11 to hit who was firing at long range and not minding disadvantage - because he was trying to hit AC 13 so his hit chance was still over 90%.
Also, are all of the attacks equally weighted or do you need to hit once to do sneak attack but additional hits after that don't make a big difference?
There's no one-size-fits-all solution with the information you gave.

5 attacks at disadvantage. It becomes the stronger option once your hit chance becomes about 65%, which means attacking was already a good option anyway. 2 attacks at advantage is stronger when your hit chance is low, but that simply means you should be pursuing a non-attacking strategy instead.
