I've only tried one and three. One only works if you have the right
adapter/mount.
For me, #3 works great. I have a bottle that hangs off a magnetic mount with
a clear tube that goes over the speedbleeder. I open one bleeder and sit in
the car with my head hanging out and under the car. This way I can see the
tube and bottle. Works great for all four corners. I just have to remember
to fill the master cylinder before it runs out! For about $25 total cost it
can't be beat.
