You don't even have to do either of those.
One of the options in the quest is just telling him to fuck off and go somewhere the Blades won't wreck his day whenever they're done making the Dragonborn get all their groceries.
Why does everyone think the quest is required, am I on crazy pills? Why even resort to console commands? Just ignore the damn quest, who cares about the blades???
