I prefer 1). One unique number everyone can see and share. Will 
disambiguate bug reports.

SVN number is better, more useful for devs. Besides, once you get the 
SVN number, you can easily get the date, the inverse is not true. And 
with time stamp, there's always this pesky "what if we have several 
builds in a day?" issue...
