1. a very massive cloud with any density and a lot of angular momentum
2.a low-density cloud with quite a bit of angular momentum
3.a dense cloud with very little angular momentum
4.a dense cloud with quite a bit of angular momentum
5.a very low-density cloud with very little angular momentum
Right now Im thinking number 1 because it is my belief that to form an elliptic galazy you need high amounts of angular momentum, Im open to other opinions and selecytions!

A galaxy is formed by the accumulation of billions of stars.
The collective angular momentum would have to be large to initiate the rotation.
A spiral galaxy is not a satellite system so the angular momentum is confined to the galactic center.
The outer arms are locked in step with the center,dark matter was invented try to prevent them from flying apart.

I think 3 is most probable one.
