I prefer option 2 with an ID on the body element. I've used section specific stylesheets before, but in my case it didn't work real well because our developers started copy and pasting common stuff into multiple sections. I prefer 1 (or a few) well commented sheets. Option 2 can be more efficient for the client because it caches well and lowers the number of requests the browser has to make.
