I'd like to avoid the second option as it's much easier to use a single coax cable and drop it down to the TV from above.

Thank you for the advice.
... until you run additional cable to other sets???

I'm not standing there looking at your exact situation, so you're better able to judge if to start with, a run to a future splitter location in the basement makes sense.
