Subject: Comment on solving illegal moves, plz!

Hi,
I know there are three ways to deal with illegal moves (side to move is in check
after taking those moves):
1) Generate legal moves only.
2) Check and cut off illegal moves before taking a move.
3) Take a move without checking it and let program captures the king in the next
ply (if it is an illegal move).

I am wondering which one is better (faster). Is there any other way?
Any comments would be appreciated.
