For the triple of

If you consider realistic scenarios, this makes the wrong assumption that
country distinctions generally matter more to users.
If you want to consider realistic scenarios, it is often the case that country
information is readily available as input to matching algorithms, whereas
script information is not. Therefore the assumption that scripts matter more
than countries may be true but isn't relevant.
I would also favour the country code as second field, as it would be
backwards compatible with RFC 3066, and also compatible with the order
used in locales.
