Placement of 4x6100 in a 220G Reef Tank

Trying to get a pulse on how to setup 4 6100s in a 72x24x30 tank that will house mostly SPS corals. The tank has two corner overflows. Do I place 2 on each side panel or on either side of the overflow (which would be one on side panel and one on the back)? Do I run them in pulse, interval 1, 2?

The rock is arranged in 3 islands versus being a straight rock wall. Actually, I think I have a pic.

I have four streams on a 215g tank and move them around quite often. This is where the magnet mounts shine. I also like to use the controller for more than one mode. One day, it's on interval 2 and maybe I'll pulse them for a few days after. Once you get some corals inside the tank, you will most likely move the streams so that they don't blow directly on them.
 
I would try the following two set ups and see which works better for you.
All four pumps about 18" apart on the back wall, aimed at a slight angle to the front running in sequence mode.

Or, 2 pumps on each side running in Interval 2 mode.
