I am honestly more inclined towards 1 or 3, so Bike Friday is not a good fit for me. I am strongly considering an S6 with BWR as my only bike.
I would go for the mini-velo with S&S couplers, simply because 406mm tires and rims are easier to find than brompton 16". That and the brompton is not as adjustable, meaning you will be less comfortable on longer distances.
