Why each option
Requesting an upgrade evaluation site collection creates a temporary copy of the site running in SharePoint 2013 mode, allowing full validation of Designer customizations before committing to the upgrade.
The visual upgrade preview mode was a SharePoint 2010 transitional feature that toggled the UI version and is not available as a testing mechanism when upgrading to SharePoint 2013.
Per-page upgrade preview was also a SharePoint 2010 feature and does not provide a full site-level test environment for validating all customizations against SharePoint 2013.
The upgrade evaluation site collection feature provisions a separate copy of the production site collection in SharePoint 2013 mode, preserving all content and customizations. This allows administrators and developers to validate that SharePoint Designer customizations render correctly under the new version without affecting the live site. It is the recommended pre-upgrade testing approach in SharePoint 2013.
