Ако става дума за дисциплина, първите варианти са подходящи. Ако се има предвид липса на определено качество, старание и пр., тогава последните варианти са по-добри. Начинът на изписване на коментара подсказва, че разговорният вариант е за предпочитане.

обобщих контекста в едно изречение, защото става дума за половин страница текст, в който се говори за недисциплинираното поведение на една (музикална) група, но не в детайли, а общо взето се разтягат локуми, и приключва с горепосочения коментар. бъдете сигурни, че ако имаше смисъл да копирам всички предходни изречения, щях да го направя.
За каква група става дума: ученици, възрастни? Защо са в група? Кой е оставил този коментар и къде? Защо правописът е такъв? Моля, предоставете повече контекст, за да Ви бъдем полезни.
