My vote would be for the 1st option, because it shows that the copyright date is 2014. [2014] by itself could be confusing to a catalog user. My 2 cents. Thanks.

Should the 264 be: 264 1 ...$c [2013] 264 4 4a @2014 Or 264 1 $c [2014] No 264 4 I am leaning toward the second, since many libraries may receive this book in 2014, and the first option might be confusing, since they would not know for a fact that some were distributed in 2013.
