or
3) Should I just stay on 880 to 80 all the way through the maze?
All other thing being equal, (2) and (3) are roughly equivalent. Although note that if you choose (2) you are technically taking 880 to 980 to 80 (that stretch isn't called 24 yet). I think (2) is a whisker shorter than (3) but also involves two interchanges/merges so if you aren't familiar with that area then (3) may be simpler.
However...

It depends a lot on traffic. Obv. actual conditions when you drive can easily trump any general advice we can give you beforehand
Just check Google Maps before you leave, and improvise as necessary. KCBS 740 AM/106.9 FM does traffic every 10 minutes.
