This is a rather biassed ballot, so I vote, in order:

3. (in favour of INTERoperable ePRINT archiveS: INTERPRINTS):

Self explanatory, for now and for ever (and nothing whatsoever wrong
with the word "prints" in it, any more than there is in calling a
graphic pict file a "picture": we are trying to update perceptions and
practises, not to reinforce them: We had preprints, reprints and
offprints; we now have eprints; we now want to head for interprints).

If forced into a choice between 1 and 2, then 2, OpCit is much better.
