Number one is my pick, even thought the light reads from right to left. Sometimes breaking convention is ok. So many portraits of the masters were reading light from left to right because they were right handed and didn't want shadows falling on their canvas which would occur if the setting were reversed.

The hands won't be a problem if you just do a head and shoulders.
Crop the pictures before you show them to the client or they will want more of the figure represented.
