The third option is Alliance Raids. If Criterion dropped 650 gear, then it would be a fourth option. Eventually the stats would have some overlapping where two different pieces of gear have identical stats and it becomes a "which is easier to get" decision. At the very minimum they definitely should have Coat and Twines to upgrade tomb gear.
