Your question is predicated upon "....all else being equal". And, that is something that is nearly impossible to achieve and, not very relivent for a single car. I would choose a tire setup that is most practical for you and tweek the chassis to turn out any undesirable behaviors. If you end up with rear axle traction issues, you may need to go staggered and then reevaluate your position. But, that will certainly be more expensive and less practical.

Maybe this is for another thread but there seems to be a large enough sample of people on this forum that have switched from staggered to square set ups. I'm curious to know if the lap times increased or decreased solely because of this change.
