All three, but with the emphasis on #2.

The testplan is:

Thread Group: 100, 200 or 300 threads, 60-second rampup, 5 loops
        |
        +--->   cookie manager (clear cookies each iteration)
        |
        +--->   random controller
        |               |
        |               +--->   server1 recording controller
        |               |       |
        |               |       +--->   http request (homepage)
        |               |       +--->   http request (login)
        |               |       +--->   http request (article)
        |               |       +--->   http request (article)
        |               |       +--->   http request (article)
        |               |       +--->   http request (article)
        |               |
        |               +--->   server2 recording controller (same as s1)
        |               +--->   server3 recording controller (same as s1)
        |
        +---> Gaussian Random Timer (3000ms dev, 5000ms offset)

This is a slighly pessimistic expression of our company's normal
readership scenario, where our customers get an email with the day's
headlines all at the same time, log in and scan through a few
articles, and then are quiescent until the next email goes out.

(We have to use the random controller because our servers are balanced
with a simple dns roundrobin -- if we let jmeter believe dns, it'll
direct all the threads at the same server.)

Hm, most of our pages are at least 3 or 4k, but can you be a be more
specific as to why this is?
