Is there a difference between having the gyro itself in integrated mode 
and doing the integration in the component ?

I would completely drop that mode.

Just like that, I would say that (2) is the way to go, since a gyro is 
an IMU sensor (and it exists 2D / 3D FOGs, so at least they would share 
the same datatypes)
