I don't think it makes much difference. A speed bump is such a small load change at such low speeds that it doesn't matter. This car's drive line and suspension were built to handle huge weight transfers at very high speeds under high engine and transmission load, so I really don't think you'll have a problem no matter what you do.
ADDED: Besides, remember that the transmission is connected to the REAR wheels, not the front wheels which would be the only ones affected by the differences in the options you're contemplating -- unless you're actually considering clutching in before the REAR wheels go over the speed bump.
