For most purposes, you use Case 1 and always refer to your changer,
since the drive will be automatically selected when running jobs and
when doing administrative tasks, you'll be prompted for a drive.
We use something like your Case 3 though because sometimes we want to do
things like force a job to use a specific drive and by having the Drives
(and not just the Library) defined in the Director's config, we can
specify that Drive on the command rather than the auto-selecting Library.
