Yes, you are. Solution 3 is mostly useful when you only need to do one
Normal-mode command (or just a few); it applies to any (single)
Normal-mode command including : / and ?. Of course repeating Ctrl-O h or
Ctrl-O k several times can become a chore, but then Solution 1 comes
into play.
Solution 2 is IMHO the most useful for simple movements or combinations
of them (left/right by characters or to end of page, up/down a line, a
screenful etc.). Its drawback is that you have to move your right hand
to use it.
Solution 1 is the best if you have many Normal-mode commands to do, or
complex ones.
Solution 4 is useful if you're going to often use a given combination of
commands in the future. Due care should be given to which keys (or key
sequences) to use as the {lhs} of your mapping. In Insert mode, I
recommend F keys; in Normal mode, any key on your keyboard which
generates a character above 0x7F can also be used.
Personally I use all four, but not in the same circumstances (and not
all of them for plain left/down/up/right movements).
Best regards,
Tony.
