Default Best pattern to plant 2 varieties of tomato plants?

I have a 4 x 6 matrix of spaces to plant 2 varieties of tomato plants
with somewhat varying exposure to full vs almost full sun. What
pattern is best, checkerboard, or alternate rows/columns?


Plant the full exposure plants on the west side and the almost full sun
plants on the east side. The full exposure plants will shade the almost
full sun variety from the sun part of the time plus shade them from the
hotter afternoon heat, too, thus possibly allowing them to produce more
tomatoes later in the season.
