I would try the Inverted L, but long enough to do 160 as my
first option.
I would add the wire to the top of the vertical and tune away
with a big tuner (after cutting for best length of the horiz length)
and I MIGHT consider allowing the horoz element to slope down
to be anchored with a ground stake (utilizing a good length of
rope and end insulator so it does not end up too close to the
ground)
I also like Option 2 on your list.
IN ANY CASE -- I would use some lightweight rope guys to
offset the stress and pressure of the horizontal L component(s)
I have a 43 foot monopole... and have been considering similar
options... I agree the options you list are more tasty than trying
to set up a trap-style vertical on site, and get it tuned...
WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING FOR RADIALS ON FIELD DAY?
I RECOMMEND AT LEAST 16 40 FOOT RADIALS AT MINIMUM.
Just MY take.
