Here is my take on all of the options. Some thoughts are a little* scrambled and out of order. I am sorry.

1) There is getting to be too many events (especially with more districts popping up). This system is not going to be sustainable with more teams.
2) Ed hated the IRI draft because it was so hard and long to run. Having a list of 3000+ teams next season will take a long time to give everyone a reasonable amount of teams. This won't be fun with only one draft that you only get [insert number here] teams. Also, who has the motivation to make a list with every single team?
3) This option is not bad. However you run into balance issues with some weeks (such as 1 and 7) not having as many events and the other weeks having a ton. I think that a way to fix this would be count the number events each week and use that to decide how many rounds each draft takes (ie: 5 events=5 rounds) You may also run into the same things I didn't like about the 2nd option, but on a smaller scale.
4) This is also good. You have several decent sized drafts that are manageable. As the number of district systems grow, the number of drafts will gradually decrease (get rid of regional drafts). Although instead of number of drafts, I'd think it be better to change the number of rounds (ie: 100-149 teams in district, 3 rounds; 150-199, 4 rounds; 200-249, 5 rounds; 250-299, 6 rounds; 300+, 7 rounds). We may run into problems with scoring both districts and regionals because the way they are run is so different. Also, with inter-district play hopefully coming soon it will be hard to keep track of all of this.
5) Hasn't this been tried before with limited success?

With all of these options, can we reduce the amount of time to make a selection. If we do add rounds like I am suggesting, these drafts will get fairly long. Making a time limit of 2 minutes for each team will help cut down this time. I think depending on which option we chose to go forward with, we can hopefully encourage more teams to use lists to help the draft runners. I also feel that with a few less drafts we may see more FF teams popping up.

All in all, I think the 3rd option (combined with AutoDraft?) is going to be the most feasible to do and will be the best in the long run.

*Ok. They were really scrambled.
