I would go for the first one, since in this I think the <br /> is given semantic value as a separator (even though, technically the element has zero semantic value). The first set of markup would by default display a nice, multi-line formatted address in all browsers and could be formatted into a comma-separated, single line address using CSS.
The second is definately wrong since it describes three separate addresses. I think it's one of the increasingly rare situations where <br /> is the correct element. Although, if being sickeningly pedantic you could argue that the lines should be formatted as an ordered list. I'm not sure that you can legally wrap an <ol> in an <address> though.
