I think it is appropriate to choose b) if you indeed have separate measurements for each of the three lines, for example a GPS track for the road and a land cover import or something. If, however, you just drove along the road and have *one* GPS track and then say "well the road is 10 metres wide so I'll just draw parallel lines offset by 5 metres left and right from the centreline", then I'd say you are creating artificial detail that has no basis in your data. By doing that you make it much harder for someone to later refine your mapping. First he'd have to decide whether just because he has more precise measurements for the road, does that mean that he should also change the nearby areas (unless you have explicitly tagged them "source=offset from road centreline" or so). Then, if he decides to also refine the field boundaries, he'd have to insert and move nodes in three parallel ways rather than just one.
