It is a no-brainer, your first option.

Good words of wisdom.

If I were fortunate to have the best set of shocks known to man, I would have them hidden... only I need to know how comfortable I am... but the smile on my face might give it away

I have few hundred miles on these and I'll tell you there are been many bumps where I usually clinch and the bike just rode through.. another bumps where it would bounce me off my seat nothing was felt actually I have been catching myself bracing for a big bump as reflex and the bike just ride through like nothing.... I'm extremely happy with the ride and easy adjustability... Dealing with Howard was a pleasant experience next on the list is getting Ohlin 30mm cartridge on the front from Howard..

Option 3:
Hidden & hide the hose too. Lower your hidden mount mount location another 2 inches on that bracket.

I like them hidden. If exposed, I would probably want them down over the antenna holes.
