For your lighting arrangement, I have a suggestion. My suggestion comes from how I use my garage. Often, I just need a little bit of illumination in the entire garage to find something, then I leave. When I am actually doing work in the garage, I turn on more lights. I agree to having all of the lights on two different circuits, but from my perspective I would change it slightly.

Here is the layout I would recommend (imagine your lights are like an Excel Spreadsheet with your North West light = A1 and South East light = C4):
Circuit 1 (Primary) - A1-A4, C1, and C4.
Circuit 2 (Secondary - additional work illumination) - B1-B4, C2, and C3.

This would allow you to move around your entire garage (assuming your East wall has some sort of storage/scrap wood piles/scrap metal piles) without turning on the second circuit. Again, this is just my suggestion based on how I use my garage.
