arpeggio fingering in this piece

[mikew3456]

ok i'm a beginner so please bear with me. please see the attached image. the fingerings listed don't seem the most comfortable for me, but i dont know if my technique is no good.

in the first bar, the C/C-E-G-C arpeggio, they recommend playing the E with the 4th finger. that seems ok to me, i play the octave with 1-5 and then the 4th, the 3rd finger is slightly more comfortable though.

however the next G-D-G-B arpeggio, again they say 4th finger for the second (D) note, so i'm playing 5-4-2-1, but that 5-4 jump is very awkward for me and not smooth. now, we are playing the pedal at each half measure (start of each arpeggio), so it sounds smooth, but, its so much easier and more natural to play this with 5-2-1-2 fingering, and i'm wanting to memorize it that way with (5-2-1-2)

and then the same, for the following A broked chord arpeggio, they show 4th finger again, when i like 5212

is this a case where the labeled fingering isn't the best, or am i lacking in technique?
