Best practise multiple queries Vs loop&if statments

Hey guys,
i want to create a matrix table. Because there is no standard function for this case i have to create value by myself. I wonder what is the best solution for this ?  Multiple queries like option 1 or one query like in option 2 ? 
 
// Option 1

public void getIntegers(){       
        List<AggregateResult> Monday = [SELECT Count(id)cnt  From task WHERE Weekday__c = 'Monday'];	
        	mo = Integer.valueOf(Monday[0].get('cnt')); 
        List<AggregateResult> Tuesday = [SELECT Count(id)cnt  From task WHERE Weekday__c = 'Tuesday'];
        	tu = Integer.valueOf(Tuesday[0].get('cnt')); 
        List<AggregateResult> Wednesday = [SELECT Count(id)cnt  From task WHERE Weekday__c = 'Wednesday'];
        	we = Integer.valueOf(Wednesday[0].get('cnt')); 
        List<AggregateResult> Thursday = [SELECT Count(id)cnt  From task WHERE Weekday__c = 'Thursday'];
        	th = Integer.valueOf(Thursday[0].get('cnt')); 
        List<AggregateResult> Friday = [SELECT Count(id)cnt  From task WHERE Weekday__c = 'Friday'];
        	fr = Integer.valueOf(Friday[0].get('cnt')); 
    }
    
// Option 2

    public void getCalls(){
        List<Task> tskList = [SELECT Id, Weekday__c FROM Task ];
        for(task t : tskList){
            if(t.Weekday__c.equals('Monday')){
                mond = mond +1;
            } else if (t.Weekday__c.equals('Tuesday')){
                tues = tues + 1;             
            } else if (t.Weekday__c.equals('Wednesday')){
                wedn = wedn + 1;             
            } else if (t.Weekday__c.equals('Thursday')){
                thur = thur + 1;                
            } else if (t.Weekday__c.equals('Friday')){
                frid = frid + 1;  
            }
        }      
    }

I can suggest going with option 2  .. its not good to have too many SOQL in a single transaction 

But instead of an if-else use switch statement
