Short-sell vs. Options vs. Leverage ETFs?

There are some stocks that I am bearish on. What is the best way to test my hypothesis?

Shorting a stock seems to cap my upside to 100% if the stock goes to zero.

Options could potentially give me a multiple return, but I am not yet approved for options trading in my brokerage account.

I have used leverage ETFs in the past (SPXL). They are great when they are going in your direction and kill you when they aren't.
