Mark,
Stackup 1 is superior as it reduces the mounted loop inductance
of decoupling capacitors ... along with your other good reasons.
The only issue with Stackup 1 would be isolation of the S1 and S2
routing layers. This can be done by routing them orthogonal and
checking final routing for crosstalk.
regards,
scott
