Default Fuel rail plumbing

I'm planning out my fuel system and trying to decide the best way to plumb it at the fuel rails. I see some people put a Y from the supply line and run separate lines to each rail, then of course the returns on the other end of the rail. Would it make any difference to just hook the supply line up at one end of one rail, loop one fuel rail to the other, then a single return to the regulator at the end of the other rail?

Yes that would be a single feed setup..

Many people run that setup! It's just preference

Have done it both ways, single feed setup is much cleaner.
