Yes, it's really interesting. Before this discussion I was thinking the
lists are used more than the structural navigation. Because every one I
know is using the lists only.

I think that all three (structural navigation, single list, multiple
lists) options have their advantages and disadvantages. Depending on
your habits and use.

Because of this I would implement all three options.
