Give notice or take PTO and quit without it?

I have been put on a performance improvement plan and felt my situation was not recoverable in terms of office reputation. So despite probably surviving the PIP I sought and found another job, starting in 2 weeks. Options: Inform current employer. Give 2 weeks notice. Schedule 1 week PTO 1 week out (we have that flexibility). Quit without notice thereafter I have been at the job 5 months and taken 3 days off. #2 is probably “fair” as a PTO catchup but I see no reason for the company not to just terminate me. Unless it's a legal risk. What would you guys do?
