I'd go for the 24 hour supervision even if your dog has to stay in a kennel or be bored a lot, as long as there is full-time supervision, somebody to check on him every half hour or so. Likely he'll mostly sleep a lot of the time. I just cannot bear to think of my dog home alone should something awful happen - like a seizure, sudden loss of fluids due to vomiting, diarrhea or a house fire or he gets his foot caught tight in an unraveled piece of upholstery(happened to my Scotty when I had cartrouble), etc. No home-alone dog if I can help it.
