You COULD use option #1, but it requires some additional resources and a LOT of shuffling.
Why do you need to shuffle?
fdisk /dev/sda delete the PV partition create a new PV partition starting at the same sector but ending at the end of the now larger disk. write it out and reboot. I forget whether the reboot is still necessary, but I think fdisk will warn you it is if you've got mounted filesystems on that disk. pvresize /dev/sda1
Done.
I see no problem with #2 though.
