I would say the answer to your question for most drivers is none-of-the-above. IF...yes...that's an important 'if'...if drivers are doing all the proper things when entering and driving in a roundabout, turn signals are not really necessary.
I know many of you don't agree with that. But if you're yielding to both lanes of the roundabout before entry, and do not drive next to any vehicles within the roundabout, you're already handling the roundabout safely with or without turn signals.
They're simply not necessary UNLESS there is a possible conflict that would have been avoided in the first place with proper roundabout driving.
