3 typically requires no password, in the setups like this I've seen. So, bring the VPN.

I have no proof, but given the actions of one employer I believe 2 was for indirectly monitoring what people were doing on their personal devices.

Or 2 could be a "carrot" to prevent people from connecting their personal devices to 1.

If you implement client machine certs, then only corporate imaged machines can connect to 1 in the first place - wired or wireless. 2 and 3 are a bit same-y from my perspective, but the selling point might be “you get a bigger share of the office pipe than the totally open guest network, and fewer restrictions” for 2.
