If we restrict ourselves to the case that A and B are propositions, then
   (1)  (A ≃ B) -> (A = B)
is as strong as (2) / (3), since (1) then says that equality is implied 
by a reflexive propositional relation and thus a proposition.
Of course this needs funext.
(Afaik (1) is often called "propositional extensionality", but we could 
also just call it "univalence for propositions.)

We have once discussed on this list whether (1) is consistent with UIP 
(i.e. it would be different from (2)), but we did not find an answer.
