I think you are correct, I think b is the way to go.

General work outline:
1) Create a new system preference "SearchGroupsGroup" or something to that
effect.
   This pref will accept the name of a group to use for Search Groups. The
description
   will be something like:
   "Use all direct children of the group $GroupName as search groups.
2) Make db update to detect if system is already using search groups, if so,
create a new group named "Search Groups" and add each collection of libraries
as a child group to the new "Search Groups" root group.
3) Add code to generate the search groups markup for forms using the new system
4) Remove the old code and table from Koha
