It really doesn't make any difference unless you are shunt feeding the 
tower.  And you can tune around that.

Like John, I'd use star guying if tower twisting is an issue.
Mine came with relatively short torque arms, so I did use them, but 
twisting is not an issue and wasn't even when I had the big array up there.
