That way, you get the minimal latency by keeping it all on wired LAN compared to radio, but also the power benefit of the full windows PC like the drivers station. Or is there a rule I'm missing saying the camera has to be plugged into the robo rio?

This is basically what I meant by number 2, with the caveat that you are suggesting to connect the camera directly to the coprocessor rather than to the rio. This is effectively the same in terms of latency, since the coprocessor and the rio are connected via Ethernet, but your version may be slightly easier to program.
Both ways absolutely work though.
