Given the Jedi actions in the Clone Wars, the first one.

You're exactly right, based on the prequels, hence the problem. In the original trilogy, a Jedi would opt for the second choice. Obi-wan surrendered to Vader in order to give Luke 'permission' to leave without him. Luke threw his lightsaber aside rather than executing Vader in anger. The cave showed Luke his destiny, were he to continue to act with aggression and spite rather than patience and understanding. It is a detail worth noting that, in The Empire Strikes Back, Luke opens his lightsaber before Vader does. He initiates the conflict, and that is proof that he wasn't ready.

Actually, I think it's an interesting detail that Obi-wan might have changed his views on what a Jedi Master is after seeing what has become of the old ways. The way Luke approached the situation in TLJ shows he is simply following Obi-wan's teachings, rather than how things were back then.
