Options 2 through 4 are all interchangeable. The only caveat is to make sure you are getting an automatic or manual steering wheel to match what transmission you have to avoid unnecessary work.

Any of the steering wheel controls or trim covers are completely interchangeable between options 2-4.

If you just get a wheel and nothing else, simply swap over your current trim and buttons. It doesn't take more than 15-20 minutes to do the full swap over. Pulling the old wheel out, removing the airbag, swapping over all buttons and trim and reinstalling the new wheel can easily be done in about an hour.

Very simple to do.
I'd also add that options 3 and 4 have a slightly different steering wheel cover trim. it's a bit more chiselled than the rounded regular Sport steering wheel ones. See the photo below, the M Sport one is more of a angular shape as it wraps around the buttons towards the center lower spoke. The Sport one curves all the way through.
