Very interesting - two completely different methods. We have been running the longest lead on the outside. Also, if you have staggered rode holders, is it best to run the inside board from the rear holder and the outside board from the front or the other way around. We used to run the inside board from the front holder and the outside from the rear. But, we switched the order based on general recommendations and now we seem to be have a lot more tangles. Thinking about switching back to original program.

If you have a method of tripping your boards and letting the fish swing around to the stern before reeling it in, both methods can work. Trial and error will find what works for each person. I run my shallow lures on the outside.

So it appears from the book they run the shallowest lures on the outside, but it appears the longest leads are also on the outside. It is the lead length (amount of line out) that will end up causing tangles. Run the longest leads to the outside.
