It depends on where you're talking about.  I think all of the public 
plugin points describe what types of exceptions to throw or where to put 
the exception (in the case of the Login Handler).

That said, and knowing the conversation that spawned this question, I'd 
again point out that the interception of redirects between the various 
parts of the IdP are *not* part of the public interface.  If however you 
are doing that and you choose to use the default IdP error page (you 
could use your own if you wanted) then what you want to do is the second 
choice in your list.
