LBM: Bindaas karo Option 4. But do it in panky's car, for his component system.
But seriously LBM, if I were you, I'd go for midrange and tweeter in the same plane. Its the textbook method and you really cant go terribly wrong with it.

In a 2-way, for the tweeter to be so much higher and far away from the midbass and yet sound correct, the tweeter would have to be a Low Fs one, so that the crossover point is quite low. This is after assuming that the midwoofer is low down in the door. For a 3-way, the position of the midrange is anyway quite elevated (ref: Option I) and hence could sound good as you say. But it would be better with the tweeter closer to the midrange in my opinion. I have played around a lot with Peerless' 2" DMR and a little bit even with the Dynaudio 3" midrange in cars while concocting my own little 3-way setups.
My hunch is that some variations of Option 2 and Option 3 should turn out sounding the best. The midrange hands over to the tweeter at a reasonably high 5500Hz in the case of the DLS component in concern.
Anyway LBM, all the best in your experiments, do let us know the results. I would be very eager to know.
