DS was recently tested by a psych who works with a lot of PG kids. She is making a grade skip recommendation with him with the idea that he should still be 2 grade levels ahead of the grade he is skipping into. That means he should be able to make A's without having to put forth an excessive amount of effort - yet still will have to work some to make A's in everything.

I liked that thought. What is the highest grade level at which your daughter would excel in all areas? If the answer is the grade that she is in - then I would opt for accelerated material. If the answer is a grade or two or three beyond where she is, I would opt for skipping grades.
