Suction plumbing options

Replacing poorly designed (restricted) plumbing and I have 2 options of how to combine the 2 skimmers and 1 floor drain to the pump.

South Skimmer is the furthest away.  Then Floor, and North Skimmer is the closest. is it best to have the S skimmer with the least restriction?

I am replacing all the PVC and the Multiport valve while im at it. and removing about 8 unnec elbows.

Option 1…

Option 2.
