In the new 2024PHB all class can opt out of equipment and get a good amount. The amount varies but it mostly matches the starting equipment costs. They can also opt out of background equipment for gold.
They do have the option for 5d4x10 for gold, but you have to opt out of both class and background equipment. Can we just get a flat amount?
Artificers get 109gp to 164gp worth of starting equipment with out a background. If you include background that's an additional 50gp. That's about 159gp to 214gp
Average of a 5d4 is 12.5 for a total of 125gp. The average is lower than the 159gp and the max roll of 200 is lower than the 214gp.
If you think that is too stingy, you could increase the GP amounts in options A and B by 5 or 10 GP, but it should be roughly in line with the other classes.

My take on it is choose A or B:
