Option 3 - both runways used for landings and take-offs.

which would be better?
If i remember rightly from the row over Heathrow about mixed mod ops (what option 3 is talking about). Using 1 runway for landing and 1 for take off means less local noise pollution BUT reduces the capacity of the runways.
