I guess it depends - designers spend hours on the CAD systems and the track determining what the best layout for their design is.
The further the weight goes outside the centre line of the chassis, the more stable it should become at the expense of changing direction quickly. On the X6 for example, running the "standard" chassis across the length makes for a very stable car, whilst running the saddle chassis helps increase steering response.
Most modern buggies offer few options for changing this without some serious mods. In virtually all 4wd, you are somewhat limited by the drivetrain location.
