None of the above. Just find the keys that aren't bound in any of the modes you frequently use, and use them for your own bindings. As Stefan told you, users do that all the time. I'm quite sure most of the developers do that as well; I certainly do. If later you bump into some feature that conflicts with one of your bindings, change it. That's all there is to it, really.
