Really are those the only options Dick has in your opinion? What about the idea that Nightwing could give Taskmaster a great fight up close if it came down to it?

I was thinking that Dick could take him physically. I know taskmaster has the skills of a lot of great fighters from marvel. But he doesn't have the same know how, because he never put any time in gaining the skill. He just know how to perform it on the spot. Nightwing has years of training. I just feel that Dick will give him a real great fight, even if he goes down.

I don't know about that. See just because he can perform a fighting technique exactly the same as the originator. It doesn't give Taskmaster the years of experience that the originator has.
Now I know that Taskmaster has been around for some time now and does have his own experience using fighting techniques of other great fighting masters. But Nightwing is also a top fighting master and is damn near if not on Batman's level in fighting skills. I really believe Dick needs more credit here. He can get more than 2 or 3 win's here. And physically Taskmaster isn't even superior to Nightwing.

iirc currently Cap dont Bucky to fight Taskmaster after a quick skirmish told Buck that Cap had not yet learned his style and could take him or some such.. not really how it works for TM but it was written and so it was put on panel
No, Cap told Bucky to fight him because he didn't have time or some such, and not only did Tasky recognise his moves, the only time Bucky got a hit in was whe nTasky was turned around yelling at Cap for running away...
I truly hope that it's realized that Dick has gone up against and taken down multiple highly skilled combatants at the same time. Add in the years of having to deal with Deathstroke (even getting the upper hand in "Nightwing" Vol. 2 # 18). And has taken down criminals like Clayface, KG-Beast, Block Buster, and even other dangerous foes alongside Batman as Robin as a kid.
His fighting style alone is truly one of the most unorthodox and unpredictable fighting styles in the DCU. I seen him perform moves that are truly amazing to the eye (and no one else can pull them off not even Batman). His agility and acrobatics are superb. It would be hard for Taskmater to predict Dick's next move even though Taskmater will be able to pull off most if not all of Nightwing's acrobatic maneuvers by observing them.
Nightwing also carries weapons and equipment that can be used to turn the ties as a second option. Nightwing also can and will land hard blows on him (that can put him down) as well through out the fight. Given that they only have 10 minutes. It can go either way. Not just in favor of Taskmaster every time.

Except the longer the fight goes on, the worse it will get for Nightwing, as Tasky has managed to replicate fighting styles after fighting people for a few minutes.
Dick's fighting style may be unorthodox, but Tasky has easily replicated fighting styles that will be a similar level of complexity (Cap, Iron Fist, Elektra many, many others) and has also managed to replicate a fighting style that should be physically impossible for a human being to use, and did it whilst fighting his superhuman opponent.
Taskmaster also have a huge amount of weaponry which he brings to fights, his loadout has contained- Sword (Longsword or Katana), Shield, various firearms, energy shaper, Bow with various trick arrows, etc.
There's also Taskmaster's ability to shift into double speed...
