Hey Daniel, I thought about this for a minute longer - and if it were me I would take approach 1. The reason is that the thought behind <$select....> is the setting of a temporary/scoped variable - just like <$set...>. Setting a fleld value is quite different in the sense that one is setting a persistent/persisted variable. I don't think that it would be good to mix those thoughts up into a single widget. So - idea 1. where we use <$select....> to select a temporary value and then a <$setField....> to persist the value, all seems quite nice and logical (to me, at least, for now).
