converting to B&W in Capture One, or Convert BW Pro?

I have been using ACR to convert raw to tiff, then using Convert to
B&W Pro for B&W.

I just got Capture One, and it has a setting for "CONVERT TO GENERIC
GRAYSCALE" in the develop tab under color mgmt.

I have 3 options:
1. Use C1 to convert to color tiff, then use Convert BW Pro, sharpen
and print
2. Use C1 and convert to GENERIC GRAYSCALE from raw--make minor
curves/contrast adjustment, sharpen and print.
3. Use C1 and convert to GENERIC GRAYSCALE from raw--then open the
file in Convert BW Pro for more adjustments...

I'm guessing number 1, but some of you already crossed this bridge??
