Option 1 leaves you only taxed in the UK.  Unless you are a US citizen you are not taxed by the US on income received for work performed outside the US.

Thanks! Would Option 1 be the better route leading to a higher take home pay once UK taxes are paid? What would need to be done in order for Option 1 to be legally compliant for a UK citizen?

In the UK, there are no restrictions on whether you can work remotely for a company in another country, including the US. However, you have to pay income tax to the UK and meet tax liability requirements.
