fuel tank plumbing

So far, I am down to two concepts:

1) feed header tank from either main fuselage tank or upper wing tank with a
main/aux selector valve

2) feed header tank from only the main fuselage tank; fill main fuselage
tank (only until sight gauge shows full) from the upper wing tank via a
shutoff valve

Any other suggestions? (keep 'em simple)

The simplest is to plumb the wing tank through the aux side of the
fuel selector valve directly to the gascolator and use a vented cap.
You haven't really given enough detail about how your main and header
tanks are set up and connected. Will you have a fuel pump or is
everything gravity feed?
