Between Options #2 and #3, I would definitely take #2. By the time you're in a position to kill the Matron Mother, you're almost done with the Ust Natha quests anyway--so you might as well take another 5 minutes and return what Adalon wants. I only made #3 a separate entry to point out that it's possible to leave the Underdark without visting Adalon again, as long as the Matron Mother is dead.

If it's items you're after, be sure to talk to some of the Drow standing around just inside the entrance to Ust Natha. 3 of them are merchants. (I missed them on my first game, because they were just labeled "Drow.")

As far as time is concerned, I did a Speed Run in my last game, and did: Athkatla--Brynnlaw--Spellhold--Brynnlaw revisited--Saughain City--Underdark--Athkatla again, without sleeping ONCE. We didn't get Fatigued until right after we left the Underdark Exit. I used Option 2.

Note to those who know: Even after leaving the Underdark, it's possible to return to Ust Natha, and even do one of the subquests there: The one involving the rope.
