Thanks Sid, will start off with option 1 first. I prefer doing all my relative lifts on the same day (instead of squatting and benching on the same day) because I still focus on hypertrophy training after my main power lifts.
What I think I might do is switch a secondary movement between squat and deadlift day (competition squat + rack pulls; deadlift + olympic squat) and see how that works out.

What's the point of deadlifting 500 pounds when you look like shit all around ? Who you trying to impress ? Ronnie Coleman ? Look at him now.

A common misconception about powerlifting is that people think that all they do is go heavy with low volume, when in fact there's a lot of high reps involved and we hardly ever try for a 1RM unless it's for a competition / end of a long training cycle.
And pro powerlifters? You realize there are "pros" across an entire spectrum of weight classes right?
