I think you would be better going with # 2 to save some money. Express will help you cut the wait times down so if you're at the gates around 5pm when the line starts to form, you should get into the park pretty quickly when the outside gates open.
You might want to think about purchasing an AP so you can have it in case you wanted to come and go whenever you want. Of course that's more money but you'd get the discounts and free parking after your first visit. It might be worth considering. Plus you would be able to purchase your HHN tickets at the AP discount.
I was leaning towards option number 2. I'd be using MEARS transportation (from Disney property) so parking wouldn't be an issue for me. I was planning on arriving early anyway so I could hit up city walk for a little while. I also read that some attractions at Universal Studios will still be open for HHN so that's always a plus. I wish that I could get an AP but unfortunately, this is a budget trip for me. Maybe next year though.
