Altimeter setting procedures

Which altimeter setting procedure do you use and under which authority do you operate?

1. Cleared to a flight level: Set standard on primary altimeter immediately. Leave secondary until through the transition altitude.

2. Cleared to a flight level: Set standard on all altimeters as you go through transition altitude.

3. Cleared to a flight level: Set standard 1000' before transition altitude.

I can see advantages and disadvantages to all three.
