This is a fairly subjective question, but in my opinion most discussion on UX is at least a little subjective.

So basically I could choose a fast-loading splash screen that essentially displays an image to the user while the application loads, or a splash screen that takes 1-3 seconds to show up, but looks nicer and provides information to the user as to what piece of the application is currently loading up.

Currently, I am thinking a fast-loading splash screen is better, since in general, the user doesn't really *care* what part of the app is loading, only whether or not it is still loading.
