Maybe just my opinion, but I don't think HN submissions should be used to test which headlines get more clicks. (Wouldn't that pretty much fall into the "Link Bait" bucket?) The HN Guidelines[1] has some pretty clear, simple text on submission titles. It mostly boils down to "use the original title... unless a few of the mentioned cases exist".
