I self taught both S4 and D2. I had a teacher for S3. My advice would be to stay away from any decision modules as they are boring as f***! D2 is just more of the D1 nonsense. S3 is pretty easy when you get your head around a couple of things. I'd recommend S4 if you get the opportunity. It's a short module (in Edexcel, the Pearson course book is only about 70 pages) and it's also pretty easy and interesting.

If you are interested in Economics at university (I cannot remember if you are) then I would say S3. I don't know how much optimisation features in Econ (if any) but I am sure that it does not matter if you haven't studied D2 before.

While someone may be able to tell you that D2 is too boring or FP3 is too difficult or anything, your experiences may differ.
