    I’d recommend 3, starting from a an existing theme. It’s easier to strip away (or ignore) than to have to implement from scratch (or forget to implement which may hit you later on). The trick is to start from a theme that is close to what you need without too much bagage.

    I would also chose a barebone theme based on HTML5 with shivs to support older browsers. HTML5Boilerplate.com is probably the most contributed HTML5 template project. It is a solid starting point and many WordPress themes are based on it. Google HTML5 boilerplate wordpress and maybe barebone and you’ll find quite a few templates.
