Default Fuel pressure regulator plumbing

Time to do my fuel system upgrade, then its finally tune time. This is for a supercharger build, with a areomotive 340 with a kb boost a pump. I did buy all the hardware to add a second pump if needed.
My question is on plumbing in the fuel pressure regulator, I currently have a Y feed into the rails, and was wondering about keeping it that way
instead of this, which is the way I assume most do it.


This is a Y fed set up....



But to keep things neat and clean, I was thinking of plumbing it like this,
with a tee off one end of the rails with one line going to the regulator.


Does anybody see a problem with plumbing it this way as opposed to the other methods? I am hoping to get even flow and pressure to all teh injectors, but does it not matter as much when a fpr is added after the rails?

Also for a boosted application would It be best to use the boost/vaccum line on the FPR? or is that something you just tune around? seeing as its not really a stand alone system.

#2 and #3 are essentially the same. If you have issues running #3, you have bigger problems than the lines not being the same exact length.

That's what I was thinking. I figure the fuel will flow to where the pressure is being released ie. the return at the fpr.
