It's easier to the human eye. It feels a bit cramped if the cell is closed
immediately after the text ('immediately' meaning with the same space
as on the left side). Of course this only matters for the cell(s) with the
longest lines in auto-width tables. But please forget it, I don't want to
waste too much of your time on such details. I really appreciate what
you are doing, and all three alternatives are more than adequate
(except for the autowidth bug in the PDF).

Agreed.

Thanks, they look fine. I'm still pro-table, but I seem to be the only one ;-)

So maybe we should just pick the majority choice.

Cheers,
