What type of room addition to build?

[biophase]

I've got a dilemma.... I have a 2500sf home in Scottsdale,AZ. It's currently 3br, 2ba. I have enough space to cram in probably another 1000sf on my lot and still have a huge backyard.

Homes in the area are selling for around $220/sf. So my house is worth $550,000 right now. The area does support home prices up to $850k.

Some here is my dilemma on what to build. Give the assumption that every option costs the same to build what do you think would give you the best return?

1. Separate detached guest house (1bd/1ba/sm. kitchen) w/carport - 400sf
2. Standard addition, 2 bedroom, jack/jill bath, hometheater room - 650sf
3. Standard addition, 2 smaller br, jack/jill bath, ht room, 2 car garage - 550sf
4. Go big, add 1000sf
   
   BTW, I'm estimating about $100/sf to build the additions, no fancy upgrades.
