I am planning to put two adjacent outdoor duplex outlets on an Edison

am wondering which is the best way to do this, both from the NEC point
of view and from a convenience point of view.

The three options I see a

1. Two separate GFCI outlets -- the cheapest solution, AFAICS.

2. Two separate GFCI breakers.

3. Ganged GFCI breakers (separate breakers with a handle tie -- if
available for Cutler-Hammer CH)

4. 2-pole GFCI breaker -- probably the most expensive solution.

Have I missed any? Which would be best?

I didn't think you could make a GFCI outlet work
on an edison circut.

You can. Just connect them AFTER you separate the neutrals.
