First and second (same):

1. vol only
2. vol + tone
3. vol + fixed dark

Third:

1. an attempt at direct (but vol pot can still change the resonant freq & load, more on that here)
2. vol only
3. vol + tone

Fourth:

1. vol only
2. vol + tone
3. vol + tone + 3.3k across !!!! (I suspect this will sound very very dark, but I've not tried it)

Sound/tone wise, only you'll know. Unfortunately you're going to have to experiment with various cap/resistor values that pleases your ears.

Circuit wise, I like the first/second one. I like the cap values suggested by Arlo (see here). Sounds great especially with distortion.
