Well, I can now tell you that method one is a slick as snot way to remove and replace the slide.
BUT. With a full length guide rod you can't remove the guide rod and spring without removing the plug from the muzzle end.
So method one, while slick, does not speed up the disassembly if you have a full length guide rod.
