I can't really tell much difference between 1 & 2, but they both look pretty good. I think what Kevin was really talking about was turning the tail upside down so the vertical control surfaces (rudder) are opposite the boost pod. Also, how many degrees of dihedral do you have there. Rule of thumb is that a dihedral of 15 degrees works about the best, and the dihedral should be wrapped around the boost pod (like you've done). Personally, I like simple dihedral such as you have in versions 1 and 2, and I find complex dihedral as in 3 a bit tedious. Again, the total dihedral should be about 15 degrees.
