I guess if there is some leeway in how hard/how far we push/take certain things I'm fine with all three.
Doing all tree of those sounds good to me.
I'm okay with doing all three security operations.
The authoritarianism is very much dependent on how far you want to take it. For the most part, this choice is just to determine what precautions you want to take ahead of time while the Vox Meritum still has a functionally 100% trustworthy military and administration.
As a note: We really need to take full advantage of our industrial capacity. it might be wise to even have every single infantry unit we produce utilize carapace armor and heavy weapons, we have so much capacity that either wee need to produce a metric ton of tanks/void vessels or we're simply not gonna get enough regiments out to fight. As a reminder, this forge world at full tilt can produce 800,000 worth of Heavy Weapons, or enough to supply 8,000 Regiments per year.
Euclite has an immense degree of potential industrial output and leverating it well will make or break the rebellion. It's responsible for enough Heavy Weapons manufacture that Imperial Guard regiments sent in will almost certainly have less of them than your basic militia.

It's a shame that Euclite have not indicated possession of Power Armour STCs, that would be a fantastic way to leverage our production.
Unfortunately, Euclite doesn't possess any STCs for human-sized Power Armour but it is possible to research. It would have a
substantial cost and maintenance but would be very much worth it. Of course, the deadlier the Vox Meritum is, the faster it'll be taken seriously by the Imperium. The initial reprisal invasion will be gathered under the notion that there's been a small, secular uprising and that a semi-important but not critical Forge World's fallen under its sway. That is a
significant problem but the Sector is fairly remote and at any given time, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of full-scale Ork Waaaghs, Chaos incursions, and Tyranid splinter-fleets, among other, more obscure existential threats, simultaneously demanding the Segmentum's attention.
I'll give you guys some more time to decide on what you want to do with your production before the update. Retooling industry does take time but production can begin while it's only partially complete. Although if you go ahead with Warhound manufacture, fielding them outside of a full or partial Titan legion will take some convincing for Euclite. The Euclite Mechanicus are still tech-worshipers, they've just rejected Martian traditionalism for innovation out of religious zeal.
