If you're using cf_2cfmodule (which you really must do in a shared environment to be safe), then use option 1, and just let the customtags directory exist as is.
That should do it. Only heads-up I would mention is to make sure your collections.xml file is not write-protected on your production machine. If you deploy from source control then it might be read-only on the target system. That, and implement the edit to Global.cfm that I posted a week ago. Let us know how it goes.
