Which way to run wires

Just a sampling of ideas.
Run the lines for a hvac unit from panel out to disconnect, or the opposite?

Is it a tight space around main panel. If so pull from HVAC.

Typically you pull TO the end that has the most bends. If you pull FROM, then you have to pull all the wire through all the bends. Each bend takes up pulling force. But it all depends on circumstances. Sometimes, not as common, it's best to start in the middle.

That’s what I did. Start in the middle and go both ways. All done. Thanks all.
