Suppose one has a need for categories of articles, products,
downloads, etc., within the same application.

What would be a better approach to implementing this?

1.      having a different categories table/model for each, like
article_categories, product_categories, download_categories, etc.

2.      having a single categories table/model and defining subcategories
called articles, products, downloads, and then putting the various
article categories under articles, product categories under products,
etc.

3.    having a single model with multiple tables, and dynamically
switching the table it uses.

Option #1 means duplicate tables, models, fields, and validation
rules, but might end up being cleaner.

I am also wary of gotchas I haven’t thought of in option #2,3.

Any suggestions?
