I’m also (slightly) more in favor of option 1 simply because it’s lower risk.  
However, my previously unqualified “random sampling” wasn't the whole picture.  
“Quasi-random" for starters, but seeded with error/convergence tracking too.  
Repeatable results and unbiased sampling should be a requirement upheld with 
whatever approach is taken.  That’s in part why I said it’d probably take a 
couple weeks. ;)

Cheers!
