I actually like the second option a lot. With the page length set to 2400 characters, the Page Count plugin generates page numbers that are very comparable to a normal paperback. It gives me a good sense how big the ebook would be if I'd read it in paper.
I'm pretty sure the TOC numbering is for Kindles only. There is an option for it on the driver configuration. And it is independent of the Count Pages plugin. But, it is a good way to get an idea of how long a books is.
