    In my opinion, the DNS should definitely be internal because it tends to be more reliable and tends to be faster. I Guess this at least eliminates options A and B.

    I would recommend using the internal DNS servers as the client DNS setting. This will insure that all clients will update their A records correctly. I would just have your DNS server forward to 2-3 your ISP's DNS servers.
