I'm fairly certain b) doesn't work, since I have
":se go=g" in my _gvimrc and I'm seeing the search

just like Vim (but with much nicer color options).
You shouldn't see those search messages unless you have 'verbose' set.
If, like me, you want to run Vim with 'verbose' on, you can delay it
until the end of startup, for example with:
if ! &verbose
au VimEnter * set verbose=1
au VimLeave * set verbose=0
endif
With the above, Vim is normally started with 'verbose' at its default
value of 0; it is set to 1 at the end of startup and back again at 0 at
the start of closedown. Not generating the messages should make the
startup faster, even if the files are still searched for (and not
found). You can still set 'verbose' higher for a particular run, by
means of a -V argument of the command line.
Best regards,
