I think he chose -1 over -3 because of the towing distance involved
Option 3 is the usual and if the keys are in so the steering lock if off, gives a bit more articulation making turning corners easier. It also gives less stress on the steering lock compared to option 1.

Do you have 4-speed + overdrive or a 5-speed box on yours? If it's overdrive, that would be a very good reason to tow it with the rear wheels suspended.
