IMHO the last one. I use it, because when I generate the bill of material with 
gnetlist -g bom I will have in one column (I import it to gnumeric) the 
device-like of the component, like Transistor, IC, etc, and on the other 
their value or commercial name. 
I dont think technical informations like NPN is inmportant to put there 
because the bill of material is to buy the materials, and the girl (here in 
Brazil normally girls works buying materials, I dont know why, but I like 
it :D ) must know that she needs to buy a transistor called 2N3904. Technical 
information can be in other fields, like documentation and stuff.
