Not sure, but I'd think all 3 options would be pretty fast.  Seems that
#3 would be the easiest unless you really want/need to get rid of the
tablespace too.  Just one thing to keep in mind though since you're on
10g - unless you've disabled the recycle bin, with a regular DROP
statement, it won't really be dropped, but rather will just be
moved/renamed into the recycle bin, so you might want to consider adding
the PURGE clause too.  You also might want to check for constraints
first, e.g. cascading deletes.
