Activity related workflows

I'm looking for some opinions on the triggering of workflows for activities.  I have several different workflows I wish to run dependant on the content of a field on the activity form.  Only one workflow is likely to run per activity and I would like to distinguish which workflow has executed for the activity.  I can see a couple of options.

1. Javascript in the form to execute the specific workflow when the field changes.  This would only run the workflow on activities that warrant it.

2. A 'master' workflow that runs on every activity with child workflows that branch on the value of the field.

Any opinions on the pros and cons of either method would be appreciated.

    #1 is not an option because other tasks (plugins, workflows) can create activties.

    #2 is the way to do it. you can publish/unpublish each of them as you want and it does not impact the other business process...

    But it's only an opinion...
