I would go for ordinary proxying - it is more user visible and with proxy.pac
definitions (and may be with wpad even easier) not too hard. It is the route

While I am unfamiliar with transparent proxying, the traditional proxy should
be able to act as the authenticating Squid as well as the site proxy which is
a simplification over having 2 proxies to look after.
