For whatever it's worth, I think I prefer your "B" outline. 
However, I don't feel super strongly about it. :)

I would say B is the best bet here, although some folks might call it
too busy. ;(

I suppose. The main reason I don't feel so strongly about it is that
the first thing I do when I do a fresh install is setup the pannels
the way I want them to be. Granted some people won't do that, but I
think the initial state is best to target: 

a) live users who want to look at Xfce and see what it can do

and 

b) People who hate to customize (think labs and such). 

Anyhow, of the above, I like B the best.
