I'd say my vote is for #2. That way it is still up to the user to define
the endpoint characteristics they want when sending to an arbitrary SIP
URI, and they simply say in the global system config which characteristics
should apply to that scenario.

That also alleviates users from having to specify said 'endpoint' when
dialing an arbitrary SIP URI, which is very nice.
