Is there a best practice for buying a return ticket that will be used only for inbound or outbound travel?

Accepted answer
Option 2 will not work, the entire itinerary will be cancelled.
All brother need to do is book the cheapest r/t with the best outbound option. The airlines don't like this, but it's a relatively common practice.

Yes, option #2 generally will not work with a roundtrip ticket from the full-service airline as when you miss any segment all subsequent segments would be canceled automatically in event of no-show. In Europe, it is slowly changing and in Italy airlines were fined for doing this: http://www.internationallawoffice.com/Newsletters/Aviation/Italy/Studio-Legale-Pierallini-e-Associati/No-show-rule-and-round-trip-tickets
So in most cases, you should go with option #1 but instead of roundtrip, it's often cheaper to find an open-jaw with the cheapest throw-away part.
