6.41 and VLANs - what is the proper an most performant way to do that now?

Hi,
I'm a little bit confused with options given in 6.41 regarding VLANs. After playing in the lab I know less than I knew before doing so... To put in a simple terms in general we're talking about 3 configs where you have VLAN=45 which has to be accessible via an access port and has to be available as a part of trunk.
I was playing with following three solutions:
2. Where the VLAN tags should be added/removed? /switch or a bridge with VLAN pseudo-interfaces?
3. Should I even have something like 6.41 created: bridge1 with multiple vlans pseudo-interfaces? Now since bridges are accelerated I will just create vlan ifaces under physical ports and just add the e.g. ether7-vlan45 to bridge-vlan45 directly.
4. I'm lost and feel like a stupid
I will be really glad if someone can give me a hint on such setups. Thanks.

I was playing with following three solutions:
1. So where should you add VLANs pseudo-interfaces? Add them under a bridge? Or maybe I should setup a bridge with PVID set?Config #1:
- ether7 added to bridge-vlan45
- ether7 set in switch as VLAN Mode=Disabled
- bridge1 created from old master port config has several VLAN pseudointerfaces like sw1-vlan45, sw1-vlan130 etc
- bridge-vlan45 contains ports: ether7 and VLAN pseudo-intefaces sw1/sw2-vlan45
Config #2:
- ether7 added directly to bridge1 created from old master port configuration
- ether7 set in switch as VLAN Mode=secure; VLAN Header=always strip; Default VLAN ID=45
- bridge1 created from old master port config has several VLAN pseudointerfaces like sw1-vlan45, sw1-vlan130 etc
- bridge-vlan45 contains just VLAN-pseudointerfaces sw1/sw2-vlan45
Config #3 (not tested):
- ether7 added to bridge-vlan45
- ether7 set in switch as VLAN Mode=Disabled
- bridge-vlan45 VLAN Filtering enabled with PVID=45
- ???
