Would be odd to see Menagerie, don't know what that'd be like (if it was ever populated at all prior to the Faunus War). Atlas just seems natural, due to the military defence comprising of Atlas, they'd probably be taken to the safest place they know of. Vacuo is the only place Cinder didn't shit talk about on the speaker phone. They could very well choose to send the survivors there because it doesn't seem to be on the hit list.

Atlas is also going to look like shitte after they showed the AKs and Paladins getting compromised and attacking the people, Cinder even broadcasted it. I don't know the survivors will feel very safe at Atlas.

Cinder claimed to be from Mistral and that's where Qrow's investigation took him, I don't know they would send the survivors to the villains lair. Read up about Sun being the only one from Vacuo (wanted to edit my comment but it wasn't there for some reason).

That is perfect for going to Atlas then. They get to see the public backlash on the homefront after Atlas' military was humiliated. OR, Atlas is covering up their failure or downplaying it.
