Of the three, I would say the first, but I would colspan the sub
headings.

They generally have multiple levels of control break and there is a proposal
about this on www-html today.

Other notes.  There is a typo in an attribute name in the second one.
The DOCTYPE is an HTML one but the syntax contains XHTML features.
There is quite a bit of deprecated markup.  Using div to centre a heading
just isn't right to me, especially as it uses legacy markup.  "indent"
is a bad name for a style; it's presentational.
