Why each option
ACS reports in System Center 2012 R2 require SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) to render and view reports outside the Operations Manager console.
ACS stores its collected audit data in a dedicated SQL database and uses SSRS as its reporting engine - deploying a standalone SSRS instance and pointing it at the ACS database is the supported method to view ACS reports when they are not exposed through the Operations Manager console.
A reporting services point is a Configuration Manager role for software deployment reports, not an Operations Manager ACS component.
The Service Manager Reporting data warehouse is specific to the Service Manager product and has no connection to Operations Manager ACS data.
SharePoint report libraries can host published reports but are not a native or recommended viewer for ACS reports, which require SSRS as the processing engine.
