But wouldn't it also be effective to prepend additional AS on the AS path toward the preferred service provider?

Hmm, the answer seems pretty straightforward. I'd go with D, setting a higher local preference to the preferred service provider path. That's the most direct way to influence the BGP decision process.

I agree, setting a higher local preference would ensure the traffic enters through the desired interface.
