Any emerging consensus yet re LiPo orientation, or is it too early?

I'm seeing quite a lot of early-builds like the one above with a lateral (across the car) LiPo layout and not so many with a longitudinal layout, which brings the battery wires perilously close to the spur.

I would have thought that a longitundinal layout would be preferable because it keeps the weight more aligned with the central axis of the car, despite the LiPo not being purely centrally located.
