Why #4?

I know sysadmins that love to disable ICMP, hence why I consider it a terrible way to test or benchmark anything, but why do you think it should be disabled?

When I scan a network or a host my muscle memory types -P0 just after nmap, so I thought ignoring pings was more a hassle than a security advantage these days... But I might be wrong :)
