Maybe I should make this a poll, but my question is "How do you play G-major"?

1) Almost every where that I have see shows it as with the 1st finger on A string fret 2, 2nd finger E string fret 3 and 3rd finger high E Fret 3.

2) I took one "person to person" lesson from a guy who says he likes to play it with the 2nd finger on the E string 3rd fret and "dampening" the A string and 3rd finger high E Fret 3.

3) On the Gibson.com site an instructor, Arlen Roth, says that 90% of the guitar players play it as 1, above, and that is wrong. He plays it with 2nd finger on the A string fret 2, the 3rd finger on the E string fret 3 and pinky finger on the high e string fret 3. This way, according to him, you are better to move to other chords. His suggestion is to learn it right up front, his way of course.

Any thoughts on this. #3 is really hard for me. In fact, I can't do it yet. But just starting out I want to try and avoid bad habits up front.

Your thoughts on this?
