As far as option three goes, when Chernobyl blew up and tons of radioactive dust went up the sky, my country was downwind. So, been there, done that, can count all the Oscars of "Titanic" on one hand.
And I suspect the world will be returning to various precious metal standards now that the dollar is becoming defunct as a global reserve currency, so that's option one off the table as well.
Which leaves option two... and to be blunt, compared to the otherwise traditional regional causes like liver failure and heart disease (or getting stabbed over a fiver in a back alley), a nuke doesn't seem all that bad. Certainly won't ruin the local urban landscape any more than the 90s did.
Option three, for sure, because you have some ability to protect with gas masks and Tyvek suits, and also you get to see how everything ends, vs simply being vaporized. Also, this is the only option that includes at least some period of time where we get to experience the Mad Max / The Road lifestyle.
All three have benefits and drawbacks to consider. Wanting to die suddenly in a nuclear blast feels selfish, so it would have to be one of the slow options for me.
Going out while fighting the totalitarian world government seems like an honorable death and something that would make my ancestors proud.
Trying to rebuild society after the bombs fell would also be a worthy way to spend my final years of life on this rock.
