I'd consider the development timeframe -- if it'll still be under 
development within the timeframe of migration and availability of 
desired tools then I'd start with 3 and focus on those parts that can be 
worked on.  If your development timeframe is measured in weeks instead 
of quarters or years, I'd just get it done with 2.
