While I have tried it, my experience with TDD is quite limited.

With that said, you seem to be missing an option:

4. I have evaluated TDD, and I see its value in many cases. But I also see cases where it is not appropriate or at least suboptimal. I therefore consider on a project by project basis whether I should use it.

My experience in TDD is nowhere near enough to be comfortable making statement 4 myself, but I have heard it made and I think even most people that disagree with it would see it as a reasonable position to hold.
