For the microwaving option, can I ask what you are microwaving them in, and how many eggs at a time you are trying to microwave?
I find it best to use just one or two eggs in a a smallish bowl (little tupperware type containers work really well). Also, don't try to completely cook the eggs in one continuous blast. Beat the eggs in the bowl and then microwave for about 30 seconds. Take them out, stir them up again, and then cook for 10 more seconds. Repeat until eggs are cooked to your liking and slightly stir up between each 10 second blast.
If you cook in one long blast, even if it is for the correct total time, by not stirring the eggs up you'll end up with a solid airy mass that will deflate back down but tends to be a bit chewy. Also, eggs in a microwave will go from undercooked to cooked to overcooked very quickly so the short cooking blasts makes sure you don't overshoot.
