The two ways are pretty much the same, one picks a random
number to use for a slice, the other picks a random element in
a queryset. I would go for whatever you think is the easiest
to understand, when browsing through the code.
Also, if you're not sure that atleast 3 elements will come from
the query you would need an if statement in the randrange
version aswell.
