I for one am lazy so I go for No 1. Each time round the game loop I blit the screen. This comes from my view that devices nowadays should be fast enough to cope & I cannot be bothered with all the dirty rectangle stuff etc we had to do in the old days on 8-bit devices which were vastly slower than today's cpu's. These days I just want to write games & avoid anything too technical.
