Critical engine

I have never flown a four engine jet, so I'm a little confused about which engine is critical. I have read that the upwind outer engine is critical on a four engine jet, but I also read that its more advantagous to lose the upwind engine on a jet because of yaw reduction with the crosswind input counteracting the engine failure.

Which is it?
