   2.2) Buy top-of the line AMD GPU - would probably double my hashrate, but would leave my current NVidia useless - and somehow I've grown fond of the Nvdia and cudaminer :p

Why would it leave the NVidia useless?
There´s no problem combining amd and nvidia cards in one rig.
you just need to install both graphics drivers and run two different miners.
Or am i misinterpreting something here?
I've read mixed result on running both AMD and nvidia at the same time, and I'd like as little messing around and trouble as possible.

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 and using 1 AMD card and 1 Nvidia. It is tedious to install, but after a few trials it worked. First I had the nvidia cards on the secondary slot. I  installed everything for CUDA , test that it works. NExt I put in the AMD card and installed the drivers and the the other needed packages. The xserver must brun on the AMD card. I run cgminer and cudaminer in the same time.
