I think the third option is a nono, but options one and two are go-
ers.

Doing a quick google search it seems that option one (the LW10U)
cannot be used on the landing where you have two switches controlling
the same light?

I'm planning on running cat5's in a separate channel and i was
looking at a 6-way double-width plate per room with 4 cat 5's and 2
coaxials in each.
