I would choose the scuba diving :-)
I would not for the life of me choose the "name a star" package...it is rubbish IMO. All you'll get is an expensive certificate saying that you named a star when you really didn't. Anybody could print out such a certificate. Stars are usually named using numbers and their position in the sky.

Wouldn't it be more fun to actually experience a night of observing?
Anyways, for me, I like the scuba diving package. The circus thing sounds fun too. Good luck deciding! :-)
