If they work, are not buggy, come close to meeting the coding standards, etc.

The first is definately wrong.  It would have to be something like
-a "alias1 alias2 alias3" in order to parse correctly...

The man page doesn't say for sure (not mine at least) but it only lists one
alias following the -a switch.  So I would say the second format (multiple
switches, one for each alias) is probably the best.

Define what you mean by doesn't work.  Does it not parse, return an error,
only honor the last entry and ignore the previous ones, or something else?
