Use a 3d api, with an orthogonal projection matrix or transformed coordinates. This way you don''t have to write hard code for rotation, transparency, etc. and you get the best possible performance, because you can use hardware acceleration

Although 3D would be ideal, If you''re not ready for that I''d use option 1, a flicker book of positions. It uses more memory but is faster and better looking.
