It seems to me that your question just leads to the general problem of figuring out fingerings. And I don't think there is any miraculous recipe to make a decision.

Hopefully, Bernhard won't sue me for copyright infingement if I quote his tips about choosing the suitable fingerings, in general :

Quote
1.      Use the fingering that will allow most comfort.
2.      Use strong fingers on accented notes, weak fingers on notes that do not need so much emphasis.
3.      Whenever possible, thumbs and little finger on white notes, 2-3-4 on balck notes (although the thumb can be quite effective on black notes in certain positions).
4.      Use fingerings that allow your forearm bones to be aligned with your fingers 3-4 or 5 (adjust the angle of the arm accordingly).
5.      Look forward and backwards in the score before using a finger. An uncomfortable fingering at the present note may make your life much easier on a later note. (Or in previous notes).

And here is another quote from the great concert pianist, Samson François :

Quote
One does not play the piano with two hands but with ten fingers and each finger is a singing voice.
" On ne joue pas du piano avec deux mains : on joue avec dix doigts. Chaque doigt doit être une voix qui chante"

Thanks for your suggestions, I will try to apply them
I know that finger is a personal matter, but still since I can think of a personal fingering that makes sense for Bach Sinfonia n°1 and Suite II I wonder if anyone could share with me one's "personal fingering" for these two pieces.

Thanks again

Best wishes,
