All three of those options would allow for an easily accessible wider range of gearing. But any one of them would increase the time and expense of the project considerably, and also add a significant amount of extra weight and parasitic drag.
The inline overdrive you only have to do once. The quick change rear end requires occasional 'adjustment' but I doubt it adds weight or parasitic drag. It's swap meet season right now.

If you swap the whole axle (twice!), bleeding the brakes would get to be a drag.
