Used to haul my 32 with an extended cab silverado. After upgrading to a kodiak c4500 i would never tow with anything else. Truck is solid and in absolute control. With such braking ability it does'nt even care if the trailer has brakes. Stops like nothing is even hooked up

Honestly if your using a high quality up to date HD trailer EOH brakes etc. to handle the boat then the truck is less important. If your using an old worn out trailer that can not handle its own load then yes a truck can act like a banaid to the towing problem.
All your options work but option 1 sounds the best
I personally tow a 51' car hauler with upgraded SRW Cummins for over 1 million trouble free miles (between multiple similar rigs)
Good luck and enjoy shopping for your new boat!
