Answer 3

I'd probably go with the second answer myself, that it encouraged direct communication between US and Soviet leaders.

The reason why is that the Crisis was one of the closest moments in history that the world came to nuclear war. After the Crisis was resolved, it was clear that the US and the Soviet leaders needed to have a way to reach each other directly in order to confront such issues, so the famous hotline was created linking the White House with the Kremlin shortly afterwards. In some Cold War fiction, the famous "red phone" seen on the President's desk in movies stands in for that hotline.
