I would go with #2 as I'm a fan of the Phillips Norelco Cool Skin. 

If you are going to use it in the shower, you'll want to get one that is cordless and waterproof.  (Probably obvious, but you never know.)

Is a rotarty or foil better for the head?

I prefer a rotary.

for what it's worth, I just received my Panasonic Linear Wet/dry today and will be trying it tonight.

I'll post my thoughts after doing so.

I got one of these as well.
I have used it a few times so far.
VERY close to my best razor shave.
I have tried it dry, a bit to "scratchy" and in the shower wet with oil and once with oil and lather.

Works well in all instances but a bit harsher just totally dry.

I am still perfecting my balde shave but will no doubt use the electric a lot as well and in the l9ong run... Who knows!

To be 100% accurate my model is the Panasonic ES8243A Arc IV

VERY similar but not exactly the same.
It seems they have a few that are so close to the same they almost could be.

i just got the braun 1

I use a Braun, love it.

well, I'm totally sold on the panasonic.  Absolutely close shave and no nicks, cuts, etc.

I've been using it for two days and am very pleased.

I will agree with the foil crowd. I had a Norelco rotary a few years ago and I got ingrown hairs on the back of my head....something that never happened with a blade or foil shaver.
