If you qualify for the "normal" maintenance schedule, I'd do option 1. If you qualify for the "severe" maintenance schedule, I'd do option 2. Just my opinion though...

I voted for option 2 since I'm on the "severe" schedule.

Did this question come up because of the cost of conventional/synthetic oil changes?

You can do a search on this and I know there's a really long thread on the merits of regular vs. synthetic. This has to be your own call, for sure.
