'(Insert quote) he said with surprise/in surprise/surpsisedly'.

Which is better? Or should I write 'he said, surprised' ?

'(Insert quote) he said with surprise/[STRIKE]in surprise/surpsisedly[/STRIKE]'.

Which is better? Or should I write 'he said, surprised'?[no space before the question mark]

I prefer the last version.

That would be my second preference. My first would be "with a surprise".

That would be my second preference. My first would be "with a surprise".

Really? That doesn't look at all natural to me. Did you mean "with a surprised look"?

 

[teechar]

No, I meant "with a surprise" to stay close to the OP's version.

I've never heard of anyone saying something "with a surprise" and I wouldn't use it.
