Hi daisee -
I like your second idea better than your first. The drive along the east coast from Christchurch to Oamaru is the least scenic drive on the entire SI as far as I'm concerned.
What specifically are you interested in? Knowing this will help contributors give you more ideas.
It's also difficult to tell how many nights you have to work with - 8 or 10?

The route you're suggesting is pretty standard for first time visitors, making a loop of sorts.
Christchurch-Arthur's Pass-West Coast (glaciers)-QT-Te Anau--Wanaka-Mt Cook-Christchurch.
The issue of course is driving distance and time.
I've found this travel distance/time calculator pretty accurate, but it doesn't take into account all the potential stops. It should give you an idea of what to expect anyway:
