Depends on relative cost of concrete, labor, etc. and accessibility.
Screwing in an anchor doesn't disrupt the soil surface much, digging a
pit to hold a 7x4x3 foot block is a fairly big operation, although not
too tough with a backhoe. The concrete and rebar alone would probably be
$400 (if you're buying ready mix at $100/yd).
If you have a vendor come out and install the anchors, you'd have all
three done in less than an hour, although I don't know what it would
cost. I doubt it's more than a few hundred bucks for the whole job,
though. (plus the cost of the anchors)..
The anchors aren't all that expensive. 8" diameter by 8 foot shaft ones
are around $40-50.
