My 2c worth. The #2 pic (the yellow one) is my preferred setup. And yes you can escape the anchor fairly easily with a prussic or Ropeman type device. You can also haul someone although I've only done it with someone about 10kg lighter than me - hauling someone heavier with this setup or with more friction in the system would be a challenge (and that's using a Revolver biner with a built-in pulley). However if there's no convenient high anchor (like when topping out) then I'll belay off the harness. I've never experienced the issue noted in the pick (or should I say: my seconds have never experienced..).
