4@12v = 24v
I'm installing 4 -12v AGM batteries to power a 24v inverter. This is my first choice for wiring: and my second: Any pros or cons to either one?

Sounds like another parallel vs. series discussion to me. ;-)
As they say, you're only as strong as the weakest link in a series string. Or, one rotten apple can spoil the series string.
Which scenario is better: 6 batteries in parallel or in series when one of the batteries has 3 times the internal resistance as the others.

And higher voltage battery banks usually have more batteries wired in series, which forces each of them to share an equal amount of current. Current sharing in parallel batteries can become imbalanced (especially as the bank ages), which leads to shorter battery bank life and reduced overall capacity.
