What Would You Do: Island Orientation & Prep Sink?

While this layout follows ice-water-stone-fire which none
of my other attempted layouts accomplished (http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/4525456/delayed-3-years-but-gained-16need-layout-advice?n=34), I
need help on thinking through island orientation and if a prep sink is needed
in an “almost-always” one-cook kitchen. I have never cooked in a kitchen with an island; it is really hard for me to visualize how an island will affect my prep/cooking patterns.

I could find no official “guideline/rule” concerning
island orientation but saw poster recommendations for long side across from the cook-top; any advice on that is appreciated. What orientation would you do?

Another question concerns an island prep sink. Is one needed in either layout if I am the
main cook?
