If the Dreadnought is no longer on the battlefield when the triggered ability resolves, you may still choose either option.

Reverted to its original wording, this now has an "enters" triggered ability. During resolution of the triggered ability, you choose one option or the other.

Phasing in does not trigger "enters" abilities, so you don't have to sacrifice again if it phases in.

The sacrifices are simultaneous, not one at a time.
