I'd guess you're right with chip-and-signature as the preferred CVM. You'll have to report back after you've tested it.
Let's face it. At this point the reps don't know what they're talking about, and the only way we'll figure out these things is either by reading the cards as we get them and through some experimentation out in the field.
