read carefully the instructions here

https://alien.slackbook.org/ktown/current/latest/

IMHO, after reading those, I would go for b) (but just make sure to read them yourself).

I installed several times slackware-current with Plasma5, using your (b) variant.

Also I understand that today Plasma5 does not need at all the packages from KDE4, then you can saffely just do not install this packages group from start.
