Number 2, in particular, I don't like.  My normal workflow is to do a
developer/bundled install as a user would, and test things out as a user would.
 Then, once I find problems, I check out git and start developing directly on
the machine itself.  If I only have 600MB of space to play with, I don't think I
can do this anymore.  If we are using qcow2 for the image, does it really matter
how big/small / is?
