Bro. Bob: Since the thread began, I've been looking through the works of the Greener's and others here https://docs.google.com/View?id=dfg2hmx7_308gtmpgfc6 and can't find any specific statement regarding the justification for honing pitted barrels. There must be a reason so many fine British SxSs (now) have thin walls however.
I vote 2.
