A few sites will refuse to accept mail from 'unknown' machines and may assume you're a spammer if you don't use your ISP to launder the mail. Personally, though, I don't use a smarthost as these sites are few and far between these days, provided that you have a static IP address. For the clients, use option 3 (Satellite system), using your mail server as the smarthost.
