If you do #2, go for it!

If the departure procedure is published, or will be published, it will show
up in the database. On the 430 you just select the airport, press
PROCedure, and select the departure. The procedure is added to the flight
plan and you just add the waypoints from the end of the departure to your
destination. At that point it is follow the map and keep the needles
centered.
