2 and 3 may be regarded as "sufficient" in terms of passing the letter 
of WCAG 2.0, but - as already noted - they do not help keyboard users 
without AT that supports additional navigation shortcuts based on 
headings/landmarks.

For this reason, when auditing, I'd usually give sites that just use 2 
or 3 a nominal PASS for 2.4.1, but then explicitly advise to still use 1 
as well.
