I would do #3 over again. Second to that I would consider #5, but I would need to crunch the numbers first at a gear/tire ratio calculator like this one :
The quote you are referring to was in response to jasonm changing his *final* gear ratio. That's like changing the size of your tires because the final gear ratio is in play in all shift positions, just like the tires.

Yes, I think those are the best two options as well. I'll have to ask my mechanic how much effort it would be to swap the whole thing, as I imagine that would be the deciding factor.
When you are in local traffic just lumbering along not trying to accelerate, at say 25 to 30 mph, what gear do you use and at what mph or rpm do you shift to 5th if you aren't trying to accelerate fast and its flat land?
