Personally, I prefer option 3...

Wheels, Treads, or Wheels that act like Treads

Certainly beats out treads that act like wheels. *cough* Plantation wheels *cough*

the last option is actually pretty great for teams that are unfamiliar with treads but want the benefits that treads give

It's also a lot more efficient and reliable than treads by a good margin. I'm waiting for the rude awakening many teams (especially newer teams) will have this year when they go to their first competitions without spare treads or extra batteries.

997 used to do a mean tread system...then the team realized that spending 300 per tread was not realistic.

I remember some teams use to use belt sander belts for tracks. There are very specific reasons you see the rules in the book that you do.
