2) is INFINITELY superior.
Every call to mail() fires up a very large program.
You do *NOT* want to do that more than a few times in one script.
Your server also may limit the number of Cc: (or Bcc:) addresses you can
use.
You may also want to consider talking directly to your SMTP server instead.
There are some excellent mail scripts/classes that take care of all this for
you, if installed properly.
