various types of important settings are saved in several configurations Explanation: I think "多岐に渡って" here corresponds to none of your suggestions, and "多岐に渡って保存され" means that "various types of important settings" are saved in several different configuration files, in several different configurations, or in several different ways. BTW, "各種" modifies "重要な設定等", and I don't think you have to have a superlative form of "important" here, since it is not found in the original Japanese. |

a wide variety of ways Explanation: eijiro has 'a broad array of; miscellaneous; wide variety of ways' for 多岐にわたる. thus, your sentence would be "There is a wide variety of ways in which each of the important settings can be saved." |

over a broad range/area Explanation: I'm willing to bet that what this (typically bad) Japanese is trying to say has adjectival 多岐に渡って (everything including the kitchen sink)modifying 各種設定 (settings in English, not various types of settings BTW). The archetypical example, of course, is the way Windoze programs--except the Microsloth ones still using INI files--store everything in the registry. |

each important setting, etc, is stored after going thru the various selection options Explanation: Each setting to be stored may have many different options and selection branches that the user would be prompted before the particular setting is completed. |
