This is the old Traveller rationale. However, I would think that any
grav 
vehicle moving slow enough to not need special heat sheilding would be a
sitting 
duck for standard anti-air or air interception assets.

If I'm following, this would allow essentially dead drops (requiring
ablative 
shielding of some sort) with the grav kicking in at a few miles up to
slow the 
landing to a livable jolt?

Doubtless the best choice from a playability/minimizing arguments point
of view. 
However, I'd personally favor #2, as I've always seen grav more in the
Traveller 
light, but the idea of flying tanks as a bit much.... or at least
upsetting to 
the "traditional combined arms warfare with bigger guns" style that the
rules 
are trying to
simulate.
