Which is the better way setting up depots?

Hi!

I'm currently starting a Stalingrad campaign. I wonder which one of them is the better way of setting up depots?

What I used to do is the first one except for ports. I sort of realized that it probably won't maximize the utilization of railyard capacities I have, but at that time I couldn't figure out a better way. For this new campaign I would like to try the second method. I would assume that for the second method, supply takes more turns to reach to frontline, but it would be more stable and can transfer a larger quantity of supply than the first one.

Any thoughts about it? What's the downside of the first way I used to do? Thanks!

The second setup is always the one I always use with a supply depot every 5 hexes, also as you advance you start reducing depot level as every new depot is built but i guess it be the opposite for S t B.
As you fall back make to closet depot the highest, good luck

Every 5 hexes? geez ...no wonder my frontline depot only hoard 7k -12k supply every turn --- (distance between depos = 10 to20 hexes).
