Fair enough! You're right, I hadn't considered those options.
The options you're discussing amount to the total and permanent destruction of what most people call "nature"/"the natural order of things". I think if humanity remains in control, these options will be unpopular. But I could be wrong, and humanity might not remain in control.
If animals continue to exist in a post-AGI world, animal suffering will not persist
Suffering is part of the ecosystem. The only way to end animal suffering altogether would be to wipe out all animal life. If the question was "most animal suffering", I would have a different answer.
