They are all valid used solutions to backup postgresql databases. For option 3 i think you mean the hot postgresql backup, witch requires enabling db archiving, before job scripts in order to put database in backup mode and after job script to quit backup mode.

This method is good for not needing aditional dump generation space, to keep the database available for some commands while doing backup and to allow pitr.

But i'm not a DBA, maybe you can ask to him. =)
