Even though i like option 3, i do think you should go for option 1.
The reason for it is simple, some people sadly do like the old menu and i
must admit that the old style looks good for those that want a simplistic
menu. So if you could make the simplistic menu in QML that would certainly
be awesome!

You can make the simple version with some QML effects in it to make it
slightly more appealing ^_-
