Option 2

We would have lost far too many American lives in an invasion of Japan.

Regarding the thread's dichotomy, an invasion would've been more preferable.

It would have led to far more deaths, and a prolonged military engagement.  How is that preferable?

Deaths of combatants or civilians? I find it seriously hard to justify the murder of civilians.

It would have led to more overall deaths; I don't know the exact breakdown.
