Circuit Regression Flow

I'm trying to define a circuit regression flow. From what I learned, there seems to be 2 options. I haven't looked too deep into either one. But I'd like to solicit some inputs first.

General Background
* analog and mixed signal IP; roughly half circuit, half logic.
* logic verification with behavioral models are expected to be OVM/UVM based
* complexity of IP is high; many operating modes
* circuit test plan include pure circuit sims and AMS sims.

Option #1 ADE XL based tests
* organize circuit regression using ADE XL
* create a ADEXL view for each main blocks; define tests/spec for those blocks
* Use some script to run all the adexl views included in regression
* many built-in measurements; good for debug;
* a bit slow; not too friendly for reuse (for example, a block has a measurement; at high level, that same measurement may be needed as well; have to redefine the measurement.)
* reuse ADEXL for another project or a similar block is not that straightforward

Option #2 OVM/UVM based env
* converged flow with logic team; great for reuse
* initial investment is big; not as easy to start as ADEXL
* circuit team don't have verification expertise; no knowledge of "e".
* not sure how hard it is to reproduce all the measurement available in calculator in "e"
* seems to be more flexible; E.g. spec update or checking can be automated.
* cdnlive 2010 has an example of this - LSI + Cadence

Again, I haven't looked too deep into either one yet. Just starting to use IC6.1, and UVM is relatively new too. I may be missing something... Please comment if you have experiences or opinions. Thanks.
