For "best" all wiring has to be balanced and on the same posts. For option 2 move both controller wires.
The wiring should be balanced because it allows the charging and discharging voltage to be as equal as possible on each battery. That way multiple battery configurations do the same work and see the same charge and therefore have the same theoretical life span. However it is not mandatory that batteries be connected in that manner and do not HAVE to be balanced. The difference between batteries that are balanced and those that are not is rather minimal and it is more of a theoretical requirement than a practical one. But saying that it is good to connect them in a balanced manner, but nothing to loose sleep over if they are not balanced. When one replaces one battery that has died they usually replace the other one as well because its life span is considered close to expiration.
