Answer 1

Your parents.  They have years of life left unless they have a disease.  Even if they are dying, they should still sign.

Answer 2

your parents would be the best option in terms of faster processing. your sister's petition would take 15-25 years.  

Answer 3

At the present rate of processing, it takes about 17 years before the 3rd Preference of the Family Class becomes current. (A visa number is available for issuance). That means if you are petitioned today, your parents will be about 65 and 67 years old when your priority date becomes current. So do not worry. You will be only 39. Who knows, maybe the new administration may speed up the process. Let your parents petition for you and your family.**
