1) Sounds good to me.
2) A bit too crowded, divided three or two ways is the best option if you want to divide.
3) This sounds like a good plan, but it depends on what kind of Cory you'll be getting. Pygmy Cories would work, about eight of them with one boy. Also with that Cories will need a sand substrate, no gravel.
4) This wouldn't work, either just two boys. But if you really want Cories option 3 would work for you.
