I have gone through much the same problem.  I have four or five kits to choose from, and I just can't make up my mind.  It really doesn't matter just yet.  I don't have time to start on them until Wednesday anyhow.

This is the advice that a friend gave me:  Do something that the others won't do.  So I vote for number 2.  It is also a good idea, because it is in a category that most won't build in.
