Since 70% or so of braking force is generated by the front tires I always found it better to equalize front tire weights and accept what I got for unequal rear weight. We have tried it both ways and equal front tire weights were always slightly faster. The best of all worlds is equal side to side corner weights but if you can't get there, equal front weights give you more consistency in braking.
