I'd go with Option 1 - firstly because it's a lot less hassle to work out in-game and secondly because the other 2 options in some cases will leave you with gaps along the line where the weapon has no effect. IMHO if the line of effect passes though a square it should affect it.

The only tweak I would suggest making is to have the line drawn to the far corner of the target square (Fig. a)

not only does this provide a more realistic line-of-effect ...

...but it also stops unscrupulous players from using the rules to shoot round corners as in the diagram below



It also occurred to me (since making these diagrams) that the line-of-effect weapons should continue until it hits a wall or door - so under these rules line-of-effect weapons should target a square corner that is in contact with a wall or door.
