so asterisk doesn't have to do any transcoding and hope it works.

Andrew's experience seems to indicate that you could mix numbers 1 & 2 with success. In other words, send with #1, and receive with #2. I don't have any experience with #2. My experience with #1 is that sending works fine, but receiving is not fine.
I'll second this. In my setup, asterisk has an AVM C4 BRI card. All incoming faxes are being dealt with by the server and stored within a database, with some basic web frontend running as an ActiveDesktop object within the users desktop.
The majority of fax sending is done using a plain old fax machine connected to a GrandStream HT-286.
This setup works just fine and dandy. It saves on paper, because not all faxes have to be printed, especially spam faxes.
