Default Routing of Electrical Forward of Main Spar

How are most of you side-by-siders routing your electrical from the rear of the plane once it gets to the main spar. Looking for the best way to "hide" everything (will have finished interior).
- down the center to the firewall, up and back through the subpanel to the panel?
- down the sides of the aircraft to just under the sub panel, then up to the sub panel and back to the panel?
- down the sides of the aircraft to just under the panel, then up to the panel?
- combination?
- some other way?

Default All of the above.

I felt it was too crowded to try only one way and still keep some separation between certain wiring groups. Space was also a problem.

It disappears once you have some type of carpet and panel cover in place!

Good luck,
