I have the same question in my mind too.
3) Reverse magnification better or Raynox better?
Appreciate the help.

The second option maintains electronic contact with the kit lens. The first one everything is manual including metering.
For the later option, the 50mm lens reversed acts like a multi-element close up dioptre for the kit lens. You can get much more magnification especially when the lens that is fixed to the camera body is of a longer focal length. E.g reversing a 50mm onto a 100mm lens gives u a magnification of X2
Not sure how a reversed lens setup compares to a good achromatic multi element closeup filter, but a reversed lens such as an ( asymmetrical construct ) 50mm should be employed for > 1:1 for better results.
