Neither: Ectopic pregnancies are nonviable. Even abdominal pregnancies rarely result in a viable infant.

None: They are all lethal to baby and mother. There are extremely rare cases of an abdominal pregnancy being viable, but these did not start out as ectopics but 'fell' out of a ruptured uterus. Ectopic is not viable, end of story.
