(1) is advantageous if you want to market your site to people verbally, not
by links, or if you want your business to seem professional and possibly
long-standing. Example: tinyurl.com

I don't think search engines care too much for keywords in a domain as in
(2), but some people (very few) may choose to navigate to a site/address
whose title seems appropriate. Example: makealonglinkshorter.com

(3) is probably built for solely for people and only serves the idea of
being catchy.

I personally prefer (1).
