So the first 50% charity would be your selection.

 

Note that donations of appreciated stocks/mutual fund shares may be limited to 30% of AGI anyhow

Other:

The 50% Charity, 100% Donation, selection ?

.......is only if you donate CASH that exceeds the 50% of AGI ( 60% for cash ) and the recent various Cares Act legislation laws apparently allow you to use up-to 100% of your AGI as a deduction, but again, only for CASH " and directly to a nondonor fund charity.

 

A recent Forbes article about those 100% cash donations indicated "Donations to donor-advised funds are not eligible for this larger contribution limit. Your tax-deductible charitable donation must be made directly to an eligible nonprofit."

I haven't found the actual IRS law that indicates this....but as long as your contributions to the donor advised fund aren't over the 50-60% of AGI limit anyhow, it wouldn't be a concern of yours.
