I may me wrong, but isn't "Perhaps the single crate would be a better choice" in the past tense? I mean, consider "I went to the docks and waited. Would she come?" Seems fairly past tensey to me.
I actually don't mind it. Instead of defining what the story will be, you get to unearth what the story is. It's a stylistic choice, the same way that you choose first or third person in a novel. It depends on the effect you want to create.
