The one that's better than all the others is the third one.

(Underlyingly, the intensive marker is actually word-initial reduplication. In this particular word, sound changes have made it look like an infix though: *m̥χu~mχun- > wə̃ʁumχun- > wəʁũχun-)

The fourth one is beautiful.

I prefer 4, unless you specifically want the lateral fricative to be distinguished by its own glyph.

Based on everyone’s replies, I’ve decided to use a variation of 4:

/sik ᵐbas bal ᵑɡən faˈwət͡ɬ || məˈt͡sʰuɬ bəj suˈʔəɣ ⁿdəl/
Sik mbas bal ngen fawetl. Metshulh bey suqeg ndel.

/məˈtʰaŋ ʔaˈŋətʰ ˈɬiːsə bal || ⁿdil ˈdaːlan tsuˈʔəɬ ˈʔisɣa ʔəˈtɬaːɣ/
Methaŋ qaŋeth lhiise bal. Ndil daalan tsuqelh qisga qetlaag.

Thanks for the help everyone!

Alright, here it is:

I just returned from walking the dog. This afternoon, he hurt his lower front leg when he ran fast after some bird and he hit a rododendron. But luckily he doesn't seem to have pain anymore. Furthermore there was a quite strong wind, and I decided not to go running today.
