My vote is for #2, which really seems to incorporate #1 within itself, 
except instead of any player being able to perform any task needed, all 
players would eventually get to perform all tasks on a sort of 
round-robin rotation basis.  Someone else mentioned this being like a 
"sign-up sheet," and in reality it is - it's the equivalent of a sheet 
on a fridge somewhere with a list of duties and who gets to do them 
during each nweek.  It's just dignified with the title of "ministries," 
which I quite like as of now.  :)
