There is a 3rd option with 3 connections. But fewer points of failure is better.

electrically, they're the same thing so, no?

Also nice name

I thought in case only one end fails somehow, so instead of replacing the whole cable you just replace that part.

chance of cable failure is low (environment?); more chance the connectors fail

Electrically, introducing any change to the cables mid-connection increases resistance and chance of error

In general, fewer connections are always better.

I live next to the ocean. We see setups like B fail all the time from corrosion at the connections. They are a pain to troubleshoot.
japa4551
Havent thought of that... Not that setup A would not corrode, but its less likely that 2 will corrode instead of 4. Good Point.
EyeseateaMan
Exactly. And then its 2 points to check and not 4.
