Looking at how some "experts" fit bikes it's clear they know little more then inseam/stand over when they "fit". Foot size/torso length/arm legnth/your flexability/frame angles/etc. etc.etc. all go into the right fit for you. The more you know the harder it is imo.
I suggest #1.
this I agree with completely!
