I picked #2, "at the same time", since I don't think ebooks should be treated any differently from regular books. I don't want them coming later, but I don't want the publisher to think they have to release ARCs or samples earlier, either.

Ah, you don't care but the publisher does. The question was for them to time the release of the product, not for you. I suspect they know that people who buy the ebook will not generally also buy the hardcopy but they are still in the mode of staging the release of a new book for maximum profit. They generally believe an eBook sale is the loss of a physical book sale.
