Oddball SSH port

Forgive if this is a stoopid question...
I'm starting to change a lot of my remote servers to have SSH listen on
an oddball port. (A small bit of obfuscation that slows down the
crackers ... whose population seems to be on an asymptote with infinity.)
Is there any discernible advantage to /which/ oddball port I choose? Is
any one of the following, for example, any better than another?
52, 502, 5002, or 50002
Just wondering if any part of the port numbering space is less of a
target than another. Or if there are technical issues I'm not aware of.
Thanks,
Michael
