    Since you’re on a tight schedule and have no knowledge of MVVM (or Prism?), then you’ll be way better off using options 3 and 1. From my experience, it takes devs a long time to get up to speed on MVVM and Prism. Certain things that are taken for granted, become much more difficult in the MVVM/Prism world.

    With that being said, I’m a huge advocate of MVVM/Prism and feel that it’s well worth the extra effort, especially for a project of your size. However, since you’re pressured for time, don’t bother, just do code-behind.
