In my opinion, option #1 is not an option.
#2 is ok.
The best option, and the one you mentioned, is to put Eternabond tape on all the seams. It is a bit more difficult to remove than the Dicor caulk but not impossible. It DOES give you much more protection that you will not have to worry about for a very long time.
I did my whole roof seams with it shortly after I purchased my new trailer. Now, about 9 or so years later, it is still in perfect condition with no leaks or cracks.
In my opinion, it is better to be proactive in preventing leaks rather than waiting for them to develop. I would spend the time putting the Eternabond tape on.
