I have a select dropdown where I generate the options from database entries, then add an option to the beginning like:

```
@select = Service.find_services_by_id(id).collect { |p| [p.name, p.id] }
@select.unshift( [ "Choose a service", 0] )

```

Then in the HAML view I have:

```
=select_tag "service_id", options_for_select(@select)

```

But I'm looking at refactoring that either by:

1) Adding another method to the model which also does the unshift operation to return to me all the data for the select in one piece

2) Moving the whole @select definition to a view helper and calling it from the view

3) Just have that first @select line in the controller, then have a view helper do the 'unshift' part

But I'm having trouble figuring out what makes the most sense. Thoughts?
