The big downside with option 1 is a potentially long delay after the end of DATA as the message is scanned N times. For a message with 100 recipients, this post-DATA delay can be considerable, and the RFCs explicitly say that implementations should take pains to minimize the post-DATA delay (because of a potential race condition if the sender times out before the receiving MTA.)
