My own attraction to a bucket approach (in the sense of (1) above) is motivated by a combination of:
(a) reject the demand for commensurability across buckets.
(b) make a bet on plausible deontic constraints e.g. duty to prioritise members of the community of which you are a part.
(c) avoid impractical zig-zagging when best guess assumptions change.
Insofar as I’m more into philosophical pragmatism than foundationalism, I’m more inclined to see a messy collection of reasons like these as philosophically adequate.
