Hi,

Both are OK.  There will not be any difference in SI analysis.
Option one is easy for layout engineer to Fan-out  the BGA which is frequently 
used.

Subject: [SI-LIST] Differential BGA Breakout

With a uniform breakout of a 1mm BGA, one often sees a pattern such as:
  O     O    balls
   \     \
    x     x  vias
---/     /
--------/   diff pair
(forgive the crude ascii drawings!)
 
Is there any significant issue to using a pattern like this at 10 Gbps?
      x
     /|   
____/_|
   O      O
~~~~~ |  /
      | /
      x
 
Excuse the lack of scale in these drawings, but in both cases the vias are the 
same distance apart.
Assume proper return vias and other factors are the same.  If any asymmetry is 
introduced, it would seem to be no worse than meanders for length matching and 
other short length discontinuities.

Thanks,
