2x2GB+4x512MB vs 4x1GB+4x512MB is basically a wash... even if you plan on going to more than 6GB in the future, the increased cost for 2x2GB vs 4x1GB mitigates the free slots (which you could get by tossing 2x512MB).
Try 2x1GB and if you're still having page outs with your normal workload, pick up another 2x1GB or 2x2GB.
I'd go with Crucial for marginally cheaper prices (and I'm not a big fan of OWC).
Remember to put the bigger modules in the 2 slots closest to the logic board on each riser.

No. As I said in my last post:
put the bigger modules in the 2 slots closest to the logic board on each riser
(emphasis added).
So on one riser:
1GB
1GB
512MB
512MB
And then just the 512s on the other riser (but in the slots closer to the logic board).
