Those are all good options.
For completeness I point out that there is also a new (version 5) terminal

  set terminal dom

To use this you must gnuplot in a domterm terminal emulator
(http://domterm.org).  It plots back to the terminal in SVG graphics,
which the terminal catches and displays.  This is similar in concept
to running with "set term sixel" inside a vt340-emulating xterm,
except that SVG gets you vector graphics rather than pixel graphics.
