If the ONLY consequences are as stated and there are no other repurcussions like having the the mugger stalk me (now knowing where I live) since I was such an easy target, then I would choose #2, loose my possessions and endure a few bruises.
In this hypothetical scenario, it comes down to this:
My wallet and bruises < Mugger's life
But without knowing all of this up front, I'd probably kill the bastard, while defending myself of course.
