Direct to miner.

I disagree. There is no incentive for miners to share their transactions.

I imagine it would very quickly evolve to at least having proxy services that forwards your transaction to many miners, but ultimately this is a pretty drastic change with unforeseeable consequences.

Exactly so miners would want you to send them directly so they cab have the juiciest blocks.
