The right one is whichever allows for gadri to be paraphrased as
LAhE+lo'i/le'i/la'i. I'm not sure which that is.

Do you want {lu'i lo'i broda} = {lo'i broda}?

Do you want the arguments of LAhE to always be sets, or do you
want it to be irrelevant what gadri is inside other than
the o/e/a distinction?

In other words, I understand you want for example
{loi broda} = {lu'o lo'i broda}, but what meaning do
you give to {lu'o ro lo broda}, if any?

For example, if the anaphor refers to a set, the question
arises whether LAhE ought to apply to the referent of the
anaphor.

I think it should apply in the same way as with a regular
set, but we seem to disagree as to how that is.
