The third one may be a tad off, but it more or less fits his hypocritical existence.

From what I understand, he actually wanted to die simply as a form of escapism from his guilt over killing his father, and he was justifying it as seeking redemption or punishment for his crimes. The series guide says that Suzaku's punishment in ZR was life, as he wanted death more than anything, or something to that effect. The idea was basically that since Lelouch wanted a life with Nunally more than anything, he would punish himself with death, while Suzaku, who wanted death, would punish himself by agreeing to live.
