Since many of the DVD sets I've gotten involved cancelled shows or shows I haven't seen in ages, I watch the episodes in order. My deviation from option one is small. If there are deleted scenes from a specific episode, I'll watch those right after the ep. And then I'll either watch the whole disc and then rewatch it with commentaries or I'll watch the episode without commentary, rewatch it with commentary and then move to the next one. It often depends on how good the commentaries are. They drastically vary. Or, with Freaks and Geeks, most episodes have multiple commentaries so I choose one and later will come back for the other. Then lastly, I'll watch the stuff on a bonus disc.
If it's something like when I got Angel Season 5 where I didn't really love the season, but also had just watched it, I went straight to the commentaries and special features. I still have yet to watch the season on DVD otherwise.
After I've seen the set and if I go to watch episodes again, I might skip around for my favorites.
