Which do you think is a better Spanish translation for "the pursuit of happiness"...?

Would you pick:

La búsqueda de felicidad

La persecucion de felicidad

En la busca de felicidad

Or something totally different?

Remember word for word translations to English aren't necessarily the best translations. I want the most natural/Danish sounding. Thanks everyone!!

Update:

Oops I meant Spanish not Danish

    4 - I say it as you have it, "En busca de felicidad" In search of/looking for happiness.

    or

    En busca de la felicidad.

    It all depends on the conversation's context, is it a rhetorical statement or not.

    The word "pursuit" has a different meaning, and connotation from "search" or "look" in Spanish, its nuance is generally deemed as negative. In Spanish.a nicer way of saying pursuit is to say "looking for" or "searching for".
