I've considered this as well for the floor my tank is on. I've decided on option2 for my tank. If you go to sell your house you don't really want a section of floor that has been destroyed by your fish tank. You'd either have to explain it to the new owners or leave the fish tank up so that when they move in there's a nasty surprise waiting for them.
If your main room gets a lot of sunlight and there's a chance that the new flooring will get significantly faded so that when you remove the tank and finally replace the floor you end up with two very different looking sections of floor I'd rethink this but if your tankroom is like mine with no direct sunlight this is what makes sense to me.
