it depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Any of the above may be the
best option for a given set of requirements. If I wish to use my keys on a new
machine, option a or redirecting gpg.conf to keyrings (& trustdb) on portable
media is probably the route I'd take.
If I wanted to share a central keyring of, for example, customer keys, I
probably go with option c.

no-default-keyring
primary-keyring pubring.gpg
keyring O:\GnuPG\pubring.gpg
keyring strong.gpg
keyring trusted.gpg
secret-keyring secring.gpg
secret-keyring O:\GnuPG\secring.gpg
These should be explained in gpg2.man which should be in the share\gnupg
directory under gpg2's onstallation directory, default on Windows:
C:\Program Files\GNU\GnuPG2\share\gnupg\gpg2.man. It can be read with Notepad
