I would say number two for sure..number 1 ull lose muscle..you want to keep your pulse between 120-130..this is the pulse at which you burn fat.

What ever ends up burning more calories = greater calorie deficit = more weight loss.

I will suggest high intensity / short time period cardio.

high intensity has better chronic benefits such as cardiovascular benefits as well as "teaching" your muscles to metabolize fat at higher intensities that normal.

I would say use both. Right now i train with very high intensity cardio 5 days a week for 45 minutes, Heart rate about 175 bpm. Then I lift in a separate work out and do 20 minutes of low intensity cardio after that. I seem to maintain muscle well as long as my carb intake is on point and i do alot of compound movements. Lots of Power Snatches, Power clings, Deads, Squats, Rows etc..........I lost 60 pounds in 5 months on this type of program and was in the best shape of my life

I agree with using both.....do number 1 twice a week and the number 2 the remainder.
