Quantum mechanics only explicitly says what will happen when you do a measurement, not how to visualize what happens between measurements. Many different interpretations can be useful for visualizing the wavefunction. I actually like the AND interpretation (the final one you described) because it helps in my field, electrons in molecules (aka chemistry). For example, if you add an extra electron to a benzene ring, the new charge acts symmetrical even though measuring it at high precision would show it to be localized off center at some unpredictable position.
