I have been toying with some different ideas and looking into how others approach the situation as well, but I just wanted to get some more input here.

What are your favorite plays in this situation?

By far my favorite play is to have SS cover with 2nd coming in around 10 feet facing 3rd as a cut.

You have many options

1. Leave it up to 2B to decide. If she sees runner break she cuts throw and goes for her.
2. Call for 2B to cut all throws.
3. Call for throw to go through.
4. C can just throw to 3rd to pick off runner.

All options require you have really good players.

That is my favorite as well. What is the plan if the batter shows bunt?

1st stay back, 3B charge P cover 1B line. Now if there is a team that bunts a lot I would try something else. Truthfully this play only
worked on 1 team we played on because we had some really good MI's.
