If you're getting invaded on the way to S&O, don't feel bad for dashboarding. It's part of the game, just like the other exploits. One time, on my way back to them with my blood stain lying there, someone invaded me and hid behind a pillar. He came out when I was busy with the Royal Sentinels. (-_-)  I managed to beat him, but that just shows how invasions in certain areas work. Don't ever feel pity for those invaders. After you re-started the game, you should have plenty of time for summoning Solaire before invaders can show up. d(^_^)

BKS is OP on NG (sounds like nerd language, lol! ^^ ). I used it back then to deal the finishing blow for Super Ornstein, as I wasted many of them on normal Smough beforehand. Hurts him pretty well! The Silver Knight Shield, however... It's stable. But it's not as stable as a great shield. Not even close! Get that Tower Shield, it WILL help a lot! And while you're there, stock up on grass (herbs), it's an absolute gamechanger for your setup!

About the lightning attacks, trust your ear and eyes. A flashing lightning indicates Ornstein attacking with lightning (who would have known? ^_- ), but whether it makes a sound or not gives you that crucial information on what type of attack it will be!
