That is what a generator does, everytime you call a new
value you get a new number.

I only use GeneratorLink. This does indead use up a number
when creating the 'blank', which can not be 'returned' if
you then cancel the record. I build the record before
calling the insert, so only call insert IF I want to add the
record.

If you don't want to add the generator value until later,
then this causes a problem in IBO because it does not know
where to refresh the record from.

If you want option 2 or 3, just set up the old style
trigger, don't set GeneratorLinks, and take the performance
hit of having to find the new record after the server has
changed the value.
