The answer to this lies in the prevailing weather in your region and in what
you wish to do with the nucs.

The four parallel version can use standard frames, but thermal regulation
can become a problem.

The four corners way needs half sized frames.

The differences may not be very large if all four sections are always
occupied,  I favour the four x half frame, baby nucs myself, but I do
already have half frames in other types of nuc, so they are readily
available.

The four corners way winters better if wintering nucs is part of your plan.
