Okay, you've asked for it ;-)

My personal favourite is the MorphDock (although you might just use a flap
;-) I don't like neither 1) because it'll spread your icons all around the
desktop and you'll never be able to find 'em again, nor do I like 3) since
it's commonplace to collapse a bunch of windows at once. I think 2) and 4)
are okay since the placement is reliable (e.g., you know where to expect the
collapsed window) but my personal favourite is the last one.
