First off: bass clarinet is written a 9th higher than sound, which puts the part in treble clef. But you knew that. Of your three options, I personally would prefer option 3; I'm not crazy about Fb, but I could get used to it.
Double accidentals are almost never a good thing for anyone. I can't see why it would matter which key signature you use, as long as it's the correct one.
However, I have one off-topic suggestion: move the whole piece up half a step. Your primary scale would then be C, D, Eb, F#, G, A, B. You would then have a key signature of 1 sharp, with the Ebs written as accidentals. The primary scale for the Bb instruments would then be D, E, F, G#, A, B, C#, for which you would use a key signature of 3 sharps, with the F naturals as accidentals.
This would get rid of a lot of sharps for everyone, and make the parts easier to read and play in the event that you can get the piece performed.
