That's what Finale does, so I suppose all publishers using Finale (e.g. Baerenreiter) use this style... > 2.) both clefs are shown, the original one before the key signature, > the cued on after the key signature.

That's the style that I would actually use, too (always showing the "real" clef at the very beginning of the line and adding a cue clef after the key signature). > approach 1 seems to be the far more common, and this is how lilypond > displays it; in my view, it's also the musically correct approach, as > the music shown at the beginning of that staff _is_ in the clef > displayed. That's why I would show a cue clef... But then, as apparently most commercial publishers are fine with changing the clef for the whole staff, I suppose, that's fine then.
