#1 Exciting, it looks cool but the burn is in an O2 rich environment.
First the methane burns: CH4+O2⟶CO2+2H2
Then the hydrogen burns: 2H2+O2⟶2H2O

I think in a sparse or forced oxygen environment the primary reaction will complete but the competing secondary reaction will have insufficient O to complete resulting in an overall reaction of CH4+O2⟶CO2+H2O+H with hydrogen as a unregulated waste product.
