One of the advantages of the first and second approach are that you can play DAD discs. Although the number of them available is rather small, the quality is much higher, usually 24/96, and it is a safe bet in that it doesn't matter who wins the war, SACD or DVD Audio or even if both fall on their face you will still be able to get a DVD video player.
I personally spent a lot of time pondering these questions and wound up choosing to go with the ModWright approach since it was the cheapest, and not making a large investment until audiophile grade universal players are out. It's a tough decision because of the format wars.
