There's of course other techniques, but IMO the best solution is your 3rd
(viewhelper in template), as your html template and your javascript code are
strongly linked. The good part of your 3rd solution (wich I used since years
in fact) is that if you want another layout or behaviour, you just have to
change your template (and no typoscript or php code to override)

I use that kind of solutions since a few years throught my own library, and
it works very well.
