The fact they will not answer a question through Ebay but will if you use their email address rings alarm bells.

I would go with option 3, I didn't think you could still get the MK1 18-55, I thought is was discontinued, must be old stock, As far as I am concerned the difference between the MKI and MKII is minimal, so if it saves you a few quid then I would go for it.
The 55-300 is fantastic but considerably more than the 50-200 which is also very good.
Maybe go with option 1 and pick yourself up a 50mm A 1.4 or 1.7. Good luck.

I have an M 1.7 and mostly use it reversed on my K20 or DS for macro.
Its an excellent lens and gives excellent results for what you can pick them up for. All the Pentax nifty fifties 1.4, 1.7 and 2.0 are good and would be surprised if any forum members doesn't have at least one of them. cheers

I would say yes it would allow shutter priority and be surprised if it didn't. Mike will know, he has the all seeing eye

I own both the Bigma and DA*300mm and as Mannesty says the zooms will not out perform the primes at the long end.
The bigma is good in bright conditions as you say but the 300 is outstanding. Pay the little bit extra and get the 300 would be my advice and a good quality teleconverter to go with it if you want the extra length. I have a Kenko 1.4 and 2.0 TC. cheers.
