Well I guess it depends on the situation, but from my past experience of having 2 men break into my house, while I was home - the fight response and not being a victim was instantaneous for me. I was upstairs and they were on the stairs so running wasn't a choice but showing fear would have doomed me to be a victim. Lucky for me I won.

Flight first. If unable to flee to safety then fight.

I prefer flight, provided an airport is near.
