If it's not #1, it ought to be, so a vote for that one. And, um, I dunno,
let's try #6.
Tony, just to make it clear: You did mean, for the EDT, midnight Saturday?
There isn't any "12 a.m."--that's why you see dealers sometimes giving
times like "11:59 p.m."--and some might mistakenly think you meant 12 noon
on Sunday.

Yes, I did mean midnight on what we informally call Saturday night.
But the moment of midnight actually belongs to the new day, so there
is indeed a 12:00 a.m. Insurance companies traditionally believe
there might be some kind of ambiguity, so they start policies a minute
after, just to be on the safe side, but the actual rule is that
midnight begins the day.
In any case, I also give the deadlines in Universal Time (UTC), which
has no such confusions as a.m. and p.m., so you can tell what I meant from
that.
