Several of these overlap. Becca, Second Dawn, the early days of survival after the First Apocalypse on the ground. That would be one interesting option, the other one would be seeing how the 12 stations came together and how the Ark was formed. You could even have one spinoff following those two stories in parallel
But both of these would require some better world building, and explanations / retcons of the many plot holes and illogical things in the world building of The 100. We would need an explanation how the Ark formed such a homogeneous culture, and why everyone speaks English - with an American accent - and why 90% of people seem to have English-sounding names, in spite of different racial backgrounds and the fact that less than half of the original nations who formed the Ark had English as their main language. And then there's the Grounder culture which makes no sense whatsoever. - a society does not forget its history, culture and technology in 97 years, nor does it develop another language over such short time, and the Flame makes everything even less logical - if the Commanders always had memories of a genius scientist from before the apocalypse, it makes even less sense that their society forgot all the technology and science. Now they did say that the chip has deteriorated over time and some parts were lost, but they still had her memories at some point? Madi still seems to have some, and Clarke saw Becca in the Flame. I've seen the language thing explained as something the Grounders deliberately invented to make it harder for the Mountain Men to understand them. But their culture still doesn't make sense, unless the theory that it was basically made up by crazy Second Dawn cultists who wanted to cosplay Game of Thrones is true
In any case, I don't see a prequel series about anything too recent, be it Grounders or the adults from the Ark. I don't think any of the spinoffs will involve characters we've seen on The 100, since that would just not be too interesting plot-wise - it's too similar to the situation from the beginning of the show, we already know what happens to all these people, the resolution to their stories is in The 100, so that would be both dull and kind of really depressing to watch.
