They both look wrong to me. When I read music, I want the key signature to be always in the stereotypical (correct) place, and I don't see a reason (in this particular music) for wanting to have it like either of those example lines. I could understand (though not agree with) wanting to have the key signature always in the same range as the notes that are going to be printed in that line, but both examples go against that. Therefore, my question... What is the intention behind wanting to put the key signatures in a different place? How is it supposed to help the person reading it?
Some old handwritings have e.g. the f sharp in the keysignature not at the top line, but between the lowest and second-lowest line. If you want to create an authentic reprint of the autograph, you might also want to preserve the way the keysignature was printed...
