#3 makes more sense.

IMHO we should not add more bloat to the effect type. My reasons are
quite simple. Requirements on effects specify the target, and a unit or
output type are just that. As is a tile type, or tech name.

It is time for a paradigm shift from our current model. Trying to stuff
more things into the effect type is a bad idea. It should only be used
for constants, not something that varies with the target you pass to it.
