I always use the third method. But I use both needles at the same time. When I finished the cast-on, I pull out one needle. With that method the loops are never too tight for the first knit row.

Do you mean that you hold both needles together, where I'm just holding the one?
Yes.
Interesting . . . that had never occurred to me, but it's a good tip!
