I've seen different ways to do that. What comes to mind is the way 
Thunderbird marks/unmarks a group of selected messages if they have 
mixed status. It flips the first one, and then makes all the others 
match that.

I guess that qualifies as "other" in your list. I'm not sure it's the 
best behavior, but it makes its own kind of sense.

I'd pick #4:
