Welcome!
Option 1: Agreed, it can be difficult to keep multiple developers'
machines up to date with all required software.
Option 2: You don't want separate repositories unless they're for
completely separate projects that will never touch each other, and
even then you should consider whether it isn't easier to keep all
projects in a single repository.
Option 3: Sounds good, similar to what we used at a web development
company I worked at.
