3) I could get a square account and dump the money in my checking. That adds an additional step, process, and cost that I did not have to deal with on ECVs.

I am sorry that you do not allow me complain a little about a change that I do not really like. I do hope that ECV's can remain as an option.

In that case, select the DL gift card. It's not a physical card; it comes by e-mail and all transactions with it are fully electronic. And unlike ECVs, DL gift cards have no expiration date.
