I'd go with the third alternative, but ditch the "archive" part (and possibly the "weblog" part, too). It's redundant information. A URL like http://www.keithdevens.com/2003/Apr/18/URLQuestions is nice, short and relevant. And it leaves 37 chars for the identifier. 41 if you leave the "www" out as well.

Keep in mind that these don't necessary have to be exclusive.

Allowing multiple URLs to point to the same resource can be quite nice, but you should always consider redirecting alternative URLs to the "primary" one. FOr one single resource, the URL i see in my browser should always be the same no matter how I got there.

I agree with the previous comment. I'm using a similar approach in my weblog, although I have a /weblog/archives/ prefix. Another alternative, which I plan to implement soon in my site, is to use a sub-domain for the blog: something like http://blog.keithdevens.com/2003/04/18/urlQuestions.
