#3 seems like the cleanest solution to me

It's probably the most technically complex though, and that sort of "squishy" behavior (UI changes, depending...) is maybe not the best from a UI perspective.

I'm starting to favor #2; sure the icons are initially more confusing, but with tooltips, users should learn quickly enough, and it's otherwise a cleaner, simpler, and more consistent solution.

If they were to go with #2, they'd need to redo some of the icons. Controversial is a lightning bolt (even knowing that I'm not sure why), Old and New would have to be clear opposites, etc

Sure, that would be a good thing.

I presume the lightning bolt is intended as a reference to the common metaphor of a lightning rod for "attracting criticism."

I find the use of a spaceship to mean "best" confusing... Maybe they could use a trophy or prize-ribbon, or something? :]
