iSCSI (3) is more like SAN, i.e., you don't serve files, but raw blocks.
This implies that only one client can "mount" a given service at a time,
i.e. you can't share files amongst multiple clients (unless they're
mounting it read-only, but I'm not sure about that).  

I don't know (2) very well.  I guess it's more ftp-like than samba-like.  

(1) is probably the best/easiest way to go for traditional file-sharing.
