I like #2...they remind me of Fryes harness. BUT, I think you have to remember that you have twiggy little legs, and you should pick whichever boot will fit closest to the leg.

i have #1, except in suede and i wear them ALL the time. with skirts, with jeans tucked into them, etc. i would definitely get those. #2, in my opinion, look big and clunky.
