Presuming that you just want to get out and get back, I'd go with option 2 with a modification.
At Indianapolis I would take I-74 to I-72 across Illinois to Hannibal MO where it meets US 36. Take US 36 (four lanes) all across Missouri and into Kansas at Hannibal. While it's a 2 lane road through Kansas, you can make good time. It's a good road, small towns about 30-40 miles apart for fuel/food/break stops. A lot less truck traffic than what you'll have on either I-70 or I-80. Just outside of Denver at Byers, it joins back with I-70 into Denver.
West bound, this is a good way. But as a general rule I avoid going east for any distance in Kansas.
