> From a SEO perspective which is better: ... I don't think it'll make any difference what you do in those three cases.
In general, what works well for SEO is what works well for users. "SEO-friendly" URLs are also more user-friendly. Since search engines don't release their algorithms, and they're constantly changing said algorithms, the best you can generally do is to provide good, well-organized, user-friendly content. The "SEO specialists", for the most part, are a lot like shamans divining the future from entrails. Alternatively, you can spend a lot of time examining how your competitors' pages work, and then do what they're doing. Of course, you have to revisit this quite frequently, as what works well changes.
