All 3 options give very similar results. The only reason I used option 2 was that it centred the chapter headings and opt 1 didn't. (Opt 3 adds the chapter name to the TOC - which I thought was a bit cluttered) but it's personal preference.

I cannot reproduce this problem. It works perfectly for me.

I refer to the manual(ebook-convert, so much I have a link to it on my Chrome toolbar! Also using the command line, it's easier to trouble-shoot when things go wrong.
I only tried removing the "links" to the images in the html, not the images themselves. I thought if I remove the links, it might fall through to the chapter-headings.
IMPORTANT:
From the Calibre manual:
--level1-toc
XPath expression that specifies all tags that should be added to the Table of Contents at level one. If this is specified, it takes precedence over other forms of auto-detection.
Does this mean a complete xpath expression as in the "Structure Detection" in the GUI Convert books, or just a partial one like "//h1"

As I said, I don't use this method myself, but I tried this as a no-bells-or-whistles commandline approximation to opt 1 and it seems to work:
Code:
ebook-convert "Gideon's Band - George W Cable.zip" gb2.epub --chapter "//h:h2" --level1-toc "//h:h2"
where "Gideon's Band - George W Cable.zip" is the resulting file in my calibre library after drag-drop of the source html file into calibre.
