Option #4:

I'd swap over to the restored piece but I'd strip off the shiny new black paint first with some carb cleaner and let it get some nice surface rust patina. It should blend in fine then. Keep the disc brakes. They are much safer than the drums.

Here is what my original master cyl looks like in the Firebird. The original lid is still nice and shiny after 42 years.
