well 1 is simpler to code.  :)

However, if you put all tablespaces in backup mode at once, you will be
generating a LOT of extra redo and archived logs.

That's because even if you are not currently backinf up that tablespace
(say you already HAVE backed it up), you will still have to write full
blocks to the redo log for that tablespace. So it's extra strain on the
system
