Which of the two would seem better, and why? I have some ideas of my own, but they are why I can't choose either option - i don't see a clear advantage in either design.

It really doesn't matter, both are valid designs.

The one thing you have to keep in mind (for strategic combat) though is to include direct fire weapon so your carrier dont run to the corner. There is nothing sillier than to have your fighters arrive at the frontline in small batches that are easy meat for the PDC.
