Have two. One on each side. Doesn't matter if one ends up in the regolith.

It’d surely land sidewise. :D
Which is fine. 360 degree camera.
Have three, 120 degrees apart. They'll double as backup landing legs.
Wouldn’t be any better. You’d need 4 to be able to reliably land with one pointed out of the regolith. That’s probably pushing it in terms of mass. 3 wouldn’t be any better than 2 though.
