The second is good, but more typing than you said originally. The
first is problematic.
Why is it problematic? Is the name "match" too common?

No. What is the difference between those two? One is building a regex
internally and not letting me store it; and it forces me to pass two
parameters rather than one. The other takes a regex as a parameter,
which I can store, and I can set both options (the pattern and the match
options) once for all.
