I don't know anyone who does it the first way. There is a third way. A low-tech version of a Clivus Multrum. Make a luxurious throne at the most comfortable and health-sensitive height, facing in the direction you prefer. Good light and a bookshelf. Put this in a place where there can be two good-sized chambers below floor level. Use lots of sawdust. When chamber one is of a good size, swing the deflector to send products to chamber two. When chamber two is of appropriate size, empty chamber one from the outside.
Seems to me that a good way to use humanure that might be of questionable finish would be to scoop out a garden bed, spread the humanure, put the soil back on top, then let soil organisms work on it for a year.
