Gotta go for door #1 then.  Oh - and get the heaviest flywheel you can(stock is nearly as heavy as it comes, iirc).  Light flywheels are for racing and not crawling.  It's the deal killer for me on the 2nd one - it sounds like something someone had in their modded Celica.

P.S. when all else fails, good compression is the real litmus test.
