I think you've summed up my point pretty well there. A properly designed inline feature would do the visibility switching for you. It's not enough to just make everything available inline, it also needs to be designed to reduce the amount of clicking needed to see the data in the action you're interested in.
The inspector or sidebar also offers this advantage if all data is included, so I'd agree that the option of all three would be good. Each has it's benefits and advocates. Personally I see little difference between the inspector positioned to the side, and a side bar, but given that some people are happier with the on/off nature of the inspector, think all three need to be available.
That said, I'd have inline and inspector if only two options could be given, only because they both exist already, yet are not complete.
