I don't think the 5S will be old and slow in two years, but as the other poster has suggested, if you can wait...why not get the latest and greatest iphone.
Wait if you can. No sense in renewing a contract earlier than you have to. I put a new battery in my 4s to keep it viable until the 6 comes out. 
I have a feeling that it will be nearer Christmas when the i6 is readily available in the UK :-(
That sucks. This is my first iPhone launch to look forward to. I'm hoping to get it by my birthday in mid October here in the US.
Wait! You can decide which to get after the 6 is released. The current 5S will be much cheaper since it a year old and out of the top spot! The 5C will be cheaper too. Apple might take the internals of the 5S and place them in a polycarbonate shell and created an updated 5C or a new 6C. It a win-win if you can wait till end of September.
That what I going to do; wait to see what develops!

Like others have suggested, wait if you can. If you can't, I would get the 5S either used from Craigslist/eBay (with tons of research on the device before you buy to protect yourself and your investment) or get it on a 2 year contract from Wal-Mart, which I believe is selling them for $99 on contract last time I checked (this may have changed).
All depends on your needs and your budget. The 5S is a fine device.
