I had a A4S with caps and the boom filled up with water. A better solution that I discovered is an end cap with a small hole on the bottom backed with some coarse open cell foam fit inside the boom/element to keep the bugs out.

I vote for (1) no caps.  I have not used them in decades, however a cap that
would allow for ventilation and drainage is not a bad option.
