I would say...
1.
I was originally about to say 5 but a certain truth dawned on me.
The truth is that the skill points we have now are only relevant to Dust 514 on the PS3. It would not be relevant when the game gets ported over to a new platform such as the PS4, PC, or both because then a port alone will mean that the progression system we have now on the PS3 will very likely be changed drastically.
Don't forget that we have pointless skill books like the ones for frame suits that don't have any bonuses to them or useless skill levels of certain skill books such as levels 2 and 4 of say Uplinks, Active Scanners, etc. Porting the game will give CCP the perfect opportunity to clean up the skill tree which is currently a bit of a mess I would say. With that said, I would expect we will likely lose at least some (if not all) SP in the process during the port.
I will never use the flawed argument of "it will help minimize the skill gap between newbies and vets" because such an argument only implies a temporary solution to a permanent reality. The reality being that there will always be large skill gaps between newbies and vets in any game even if the game's skill progression were to somehow be perfected.
As for AUR spent, I see no point in even expecting a refund on spent AUR. Maybe I can expect keeping any AUR I still haven't spent yet but I will never expect any refund for AUR spent.
For assets, even if I somehow kept all of my BPOs, I would be very surprised if no changes were made to them to accommodate for any changes to the skill/suit progression system that might come with a port. The BPOs we have now are designed for Dust 514 as it is now on the PS3. They might not work well if they are port "as is" to the next platform. And don't expect any AUR refunds on the MILITIA BPOs because I can tell you with certainty that won't happen. It won't happen because of a little-known fact about the MLT BPOs and how they use to cost 100 AUR each back in the closed-beta days.

I spent hundreds of dollars on Dust too, but I'm not going to be mad about it. Some say I should be mad, but they have no say on what I say.
