DIY speaker design comments

What would you think, which one of the two options in a picture is a better choice for a DIY setup; A on the left or B on the right?

DEQX HDP-3 will be used as a 3-way crossover, and subs & midbass would separated by subs own crossover, so this would be 4- way setup. XO frequencies would be about 100hz, 400hz and 4khz, but this of course has to be tested by listening.

GR12's would be in an OB box such as: http://www.gr-research.com/pdf/obsub.pdf. All other drivers would naturally be in a I- baffle just as maggies are.

My understanding of their benefits are:
A)
- since mids & highs are on a narrower frame, there should be less frame distortions for them if frames are not positioned side by side
- since mids & highs are separated from mid basses, there would be less distortion caused by it's movement

B)
- larger midbass driver -> maybe a bit better midbasses
- option to use even 3 GR12's per side -> maybe a bit better sub basses
- better integration between midbasses and mids, since drivers are closer to each other and are about the same height

So bacically I think that A *could* be better for mids & highs, and B surely could be better for basses. Any opinions on this?
