My choice would definitely be 3.. Option 1 might be cheaper for the
client in the short term, but likely to be more expensive in the long
(good for you, but not such a great deal for them, obviously :)) and 2
just has too many points of failure for my liking.. (All those phone
calls when FTP won't work, etc)

I'm sure you could knock up an incredibly basic CMS from scratch to
populate those menu pages in a day or two.
