In cosmology many dramatically different scenarios with the past (big bang versus bounce) and in the future (de Sitter versus big rip) singularities are compatible with the present day observations. This difficulty is called the degeneracy problem. We use the Akaike and Bayesian information criteria of model selection to overcome this degeneracy and to determine a model with such a set of parameters which gives the most preferred fit to the SNIa data. We consider seven representative scenarios, namely: the CDM models with the cosmological constant, with topological defect, with phantom field, with bounce, with bouncing phantom field, with brane and model with the linear dynamical equation of state parameter. Applying the model selection information criteria we show that AIC indicates the flat phantom model while BIC indicates both flat phantom and flat $\Lambda$CDM models. Finally we conclude that the number of essential parameters chosen by dark energy models which are compared with SNIa data is two.
