Why each option
Server-to-server OAuth authentication between SharePoint and Exchange must be established first before eDiscovery features such as mailbox search, holds, and exports can function.
The Secure Store is used to hold credentials for external data sources accessed via BCS, not to establish the OAuth trust relationship required for eDiscovery integration with Exchange.
Server-to-server authentication establishes an OAuth 2.0 trust relationship between SharePoint Server 2013 and Exchange Server 2013, allowing SharePoint's eDiscovery Center to act on behalf of users when querying Exchange. Without this trust, SharePoint cannot authenticate to Exchange to perform cross-system searches, place litigation holds, or export mailbox content. This step must come first because all subsequent eDiscovery operations depend on this authenticated channel.
Alternate access mappings map internal URLs to public URLs for SharePoint web applications and have no role in enabling SharePoint-Exchange integration or eDiscovery.
External content types via BCS are used to surface structured external data in SharePoint lists and are not the mechanism for performing eDiscovery operations against Exchange mailboxes.
