I personally think 2 is the preferred option as it provides domain &
netblock owners with a possible means of becoming unlisted. Further helping
us remove false positives and mopped up incidents as soon as we can.
As far as creating additional SURBL's go, I think the less lists kept
overall the better, it's much kinder on bandwidth & end users system
performance.
Cheers,
