Pecha hi,
Your best option currently is option 3: Sukkur - Bahawalpur - Multan - Lahore - Wagah.
As you say anything close to the Afghan border and the tribal areas is a bit iffy. Maybe when you've found your feet and get your bearings you can venture on.
I'm not sure if you been to Iran but the Iranians are beautiful people. There are a few most sees there.
You won't have any problems getting from Mirijavah to Quetta fuel wise or road wise although i suggest that you don't travel late in the afternoon to Quetta. It can be a bit dicey with tribal groups. Following a bus a truck is always a good move.
I recommend Hotel Bismel in Quetta. It is not at all fancy but it is cheap and its all above- board. From memory Muhammad Yaseen Bismel runs it. Drop the name Maqsood Shah ( he is a drug rep from Lahore) and at times frequents Quetta.
The road condition and the speed of the bike can vary greatly so giving estimates is a bit arbituary. If there are no break downs then goat track distances travelled can be as little as sixty likometres a day. Bitumen is bitumen so its up to you.
Beware of the police escort- great if you want to pay them ( and they will try it on) but if you have the relevant documentation you by law aren't enforced too.
safe travels and let me know how you fair.
