Re: Piano octaving
Much better to do it like the first example. Only use octave signs when the notes would otherwise involve many ledger lines, especially in the lower staff.

Re: Piano octaving
I'm glad you answered John. I was going to suggest the same as you, but much better from an experienced pianist (which I am not).
(I am assuming that this is for piano or at least keyboard of some kind.)
