JUST A GUESS :
From all conversations and research regarding (a)(12) and (c)(19), this is what I guessed. However, I might be wrong.

"Does not matter whether you put (a)(12) or (c)(19) on eligibility criteria. However, if you put (c)(19), they will issue your EAD as soon as possible even if your TPS application status is pending. If you are granted TPS, you have to renew your EAD with approved status which is (a)(12) category. In this situation you may need to pay extra amount to get the new EAD with approved TPS status.
If you put (a)(12), they don't issue an EAD until your TPS application(I-821) is approved".

Does it make sense guys? Please comment on this.
