Grain of salt this as I'm not a race engineer, I'm a guess-and-check tinkerer at best.
My general plan of attack when tweaking the car was aiming for some, but minimal push steady state. I'm an overdriver and I like my cars slightly pushy so that I can overdrive with less fear of the car biting back.
On the staggered setup, the car seems to spend more situations closer to the happy zone, balance wise. On the square setup, it felt like it had too much front bite when you didn't want it, without the expected benefit of more front bite when you did want it (on power.) May be an RR format thing though as I never feel like the front tires do much on the 911. They only brake the car and phone in requests for rear tire slip angle.
Of course all of that is touchy-feely driving impressions without any hard data to back it up.
