I've been asking myself the same question.  I'd modify the list of questions
slightly, though:
    1. One instance of the program per session
    2. One program instance, one full-fledged window per session
    3. One program instance, one MDI child window per session

I decided that the MDI approach was out.  Although MDI would be cute,
it puts too many inherent limits on window placement.  I voted for one
instance for everything approach (option 2) -- It just feels better in
terms of memory usage and program efficiency.  I have no quantitative
data to back this up; it just seems to be a cleaner way to do things.
