Number 2 is technically the best.

However, if this isn't for critical listening, Number One may be the best for practical reasons. At worst, you lose a bit of power and a lot of damping due to speaker cable resistance, but chances are that'll be relatively inaudible.

The "correct" way has a few more gotchas. Long line-level cable runs may cause instability in the mixer output if it's not designed to drive high-capacitance loads. Locating remote amps where they won't be covered in spilled drinks or smothered by coats can be an issue. Running the amp(s) and mixer from different electrical outlets can lead to ground loop problems in venues with sketchy wiring.
