I also do #2 and #3.
I am the inverse of you for #1 though. I ride the entire way up every time the lane is ending. I do so for two reasons:
1) it gets me farther ahead than I was; and
2) it is the proper way to ensure that the lanes are used optimally. It is the people who stop short of using the entire lane that cause the slow-downs in traffic. Over the years, I've had plenty of people try to block me out. I just move over anyways. This invariably leads them to honk and give me the finger, as though I am the one breaking traffic laws. I find it amusing actually.
