or (3) the shutdown command (i.e. shutdown -i5 -g0 -y)?

I normally use init 5, because I'm lazy!

Huh ? Poweroff is not a recommended way to shutdown a Solaris machine. Have a look at the Notes section in the poweroff manual page:
halt(1M) – stop the processor (man pages section 1M: System Administration Commands) - Sun Microsystems
