Go with your second option (we did and are pleased). Migrate the database to 7.3 (faster, better supported, etc.). Run Forms 3.0 and 4.5 against the 7.3 database. Migrate Forms 3.0 applications to 4.5 as time permits (sooner is better). Separate databases are a nightmare to keep in synch and maintain. And if your migration plan for the forms is really 2-3 years, think of how far behind you will be by the end of the migration if you don't keep your database current! You might also want to look at speeding up the forms migration so you don't have to keep your developers current on two very different development tools.
