Most people seem to be caught by one of the most popular ideas instead of thinking of other possibilities. These ideas are based on either a warm pond or deep sea smokers. But as you say, “early Earth wasn’t composed of a single geological environment”, and origin could combine many of them. Especially, I am convinced that cyclic reactions were involved in the early life creating processes. These could be created by waves on the sea shore, but I think the changes in temperature, light and moisture that is created by the day cycle are more probable causes. I have presented a theory in the Sandwalk blog: http://sandwalk.blogspot.no/2009/05/metabolism-first-and-origin-of-life.html.
