Not really, I think you have summrised the alternatives quite well.

What I can add is:

1) I don't like user-defined messages as they work today in SQL Server for
   two reasons:
   a) They are defined on server-level.
   b) Numbers are not very mnemonic.

2) Look at http://www.sommarskog.se/error_handling_2005.html which is 
   a variation of your first alternative, but the re-raised message is
   formatted to make it easy to parse.

3) The next version of SQL Server will have command for re-raising errors
   exactly as they were given.
