I like your #1 and #2 ideas the best, and I've heard some pretty
decent signals with this sort of arrangement. But accept it as a
given that all of the ideas you've mentioned require a decent ground
system (or counterpoise) if they are to be effective.
The link below describes a far less elegant implementation at my
home QTH that works fairly well -- I can work more or less what I
can hear with 500 watts. Yours has a chance of working considerably
better if you do a good job with the ground/counterpoise.

BTW -- #1 and #2 ought to work pretty well on 80 meters too. Mine
does.
