I would go with option 5. Maybe it's the paranoid in me, however if a lot of these types of threads have been showing up recently, it could also mean that they will track these kinds of things and it could come back to haunt you. Case in point, BA (or CX) might note it in their records and flag you for "special consideration". Doesn't necessarily mean anything to start out, however dropping the last leg a few times could cause you issues in the future.

Again, it's the paranoid in me speaking. I've seen it happen with other companies. I also with Often 1 and Zeltergiset.
