I currently have 2 def downs in my party not counting bow (sniper shot + Ryu-Oh).
Option 1 works better with Arthur (which is why you will [eventually] see some people running Arthur with Hercules' Axe). With Shingen, I suggest you simply run full burst so you don't waste 4+ turns and another 3 (to cover the loss from PF) just to recharge to full. The damage loss isn't too significant for you to run option 1.
