Do you prioritize same type of disks (All NAS drives vs. mixed drives, e.g., NAS+surveillance+enterprise+desktop) over storage capacity in a NAS?

My main n100 NAS is 4bay that runs 4 to 14hrs/day. My backup i7 5775 NAS is 6bay that is powered on as needed. Current hoard is around 23tb. Also have 8tb enterprise for offsite.

Would it be better to combine the 8tb and 6tb ironwolfs + 2x14tb WD elements/desktop, total of 42tb space in the main NAS for max space. Backup NAS with 8tb Skyhawk + 2x6tb ironwolfs, total of 20tb.

Combine the 8tb + 3x6tb ironwolfs, total of 32tb space in main NAS for same disk types. Backup NAS with 8tb Skyhawk and 2x14tb WD elements/desktop, total of 36tb? Thanks.
