Well if you're low level, then you won't be able to do any of the listed runs. Unless, of course, you don't plan on doing the actual killing.
Here's what I do -
I'll level my character up while questing through the acts. Upon getting decently mired into act 5 (~level 37 for Normal, ~58 for NM, and the sky's the limit for Hell), I will enter a large public "gogo act 1" or cow game. Upon entering, I do not party, and mute/squelch everyone in the game. Then, I'll pop into the Halls of Pain and clear it.
Why Halls of Pain, you ask? The monsters there have only Lightning and Poison resistance (iirc), but more importantly, it's not a dangerous area. There are no frenzytaurs, there is only one Evil Urn, and the experience isn't horribly bad. Sure, Baal runs and Ancient's Way runs are much better for exp (I do the latter quite a bit too, depending on the character I'm playing), but then again, they're much more dangerous in Hell. And I play Hardcore only.
YMMV.
