In addition to the two options you listed, there is a third configuration: the waverider warhead.
The DF-17 series of hypersonic missiles includes not only the common waverider warhead variant but also a biconic warhead variant.

Compared to the biconic variant, the waverider variant offers greater range and superior maneuvering capabilities for evading defenses; however, its drawback is a smaller payload capacity, resulting in reduced explosive power.
