Might be hard to find people that have auditioned all of those items; I have only heard the Fuze/Clip+ and I like them; however I have no idea how they compare to the iRiver.

I would say to read up on the fuze and iRiver extensively and see if you can base what player sounds better overall based on your readings (and it's not going to be "perfect" because it's all subjective) but you might be able to get an idea.

I would also say to read up in the amp section and see if you're going to get any real benefit from buying a P3 or D4 since you already have the D10. With IEMs the amp makes a very small difference (between different amps, not amp/no amp) so you might be better off saving the money, use the D10, and get some better headphones.
(Note this is just with IEMs, I don't know how much of an impact amps have on full sized cans.)

in theory, optical is better than line out, so no.2 is the best among 3
