Great job putting this together, @BlackHatCoiner!
I think for someone who really wants to keep their Bitcoin safe, not just their privacy, I'd suggest option 1. Even though it might cost more and expensive, protecting one's coins is what matters the most. I'd tell most people to think carefully and decide wisely. It's a good idea to focus on keeping your Bitcoins secure rather than just your privacy. Choosing methods like Joinmarket, Whirlpool, or Wasabi, which are part of CoinJoining, can give you better protection for your coins. Remember, think about both privacy and security when you're making your choice.
