Is that all? No point at all with version 3 in packages? Why was it 
introduced? I have seen an argument for version 2: "... needed ... to 
support name spaces", but version 3 ...


Format 3 supports efficient serialization of ALTREP objects, that is why 
it was introduced. It also saves the session native encoding and 
converts string on de-serialization when running in different native 
encoding. Documented also in R 3.5 NEWS, in R Internals.

My guess is go for (i) and version = 3 for all data files, but I feel
that I need advise.

Format version 3 [1] introduces support for ALTREP objects [2].
Examples of where ALTREP might be useful include really long integer
vectors, like 1:1e10.



Thanks, no need for that in the actual data files, so I'll convert them 
to version 2.

One of the steps performed by default during R CMD build is
tools::resaveRdaFiles(), which passes NULL as version= argument to
save(). Around R (not sure about this) 3.6.0 version=NULL was changed to
mean version=3, so if you want to preserve compatibility with R <
3.5.0, you may need to run tools::resaveRdaFiles(..., version = 2)
before running R CMD build --no-resave-data.

You may use version 3 for all, but you can also have a mix and only use 
vesion 3 for the new files.
