Hey Shim, Can you please include screenshots (or, even better, a quick video or gif) of the new UI to make it easier for people to visualize who don't have the code checked out?
Assuming I'm understanding your description of the two options, I would also vote for option #2 as option #1 sounds like it would be very difficult to ensure a good UI since some other plugin could just put whatever they want wherever in the UI.
