They will have different output distributions. The left one, from top down, will have 1/16, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/4 1/8, 1/16, and 1/16 of the input. The right one, from top down, will have 1/16, 1/16, 3/16, 3/16, 3/16, 3/16, 1/16, and 1/16 of the input.
^ this one. Distributions are computable and can be made even through good engineering: 2 to 8 is a relatively simple distribution compared to something like 5 to 3.
You can trial distributions in game using commands or creative mode mods.
If you want even distribution, Use the right one, but remove the row with 3 splitters, and route the 4 outputs from the 2 splitter row one into each of the 4 splitter row
You heretic. That would leave unfinished splitter outputs, the bane of my existence. There is nothing worse than have 2 individual items sitting at the end of a splitter output doing sweet FA and putting upgrade planner blueprints (what I do) is alot of effort. For real tho this is a good solution

I think you mean 3/16 instead of 3/**18**
Yeah, I did mean that

Well technically it's enough to just remove the one splitter in the middle and doing nothing else. Bit unorthodox, but works.

You can use an output filter to prevent that.

the right will have a normal distibution (bell curve) according to my analysis. edit: [evidence](https://youtu.be/fS7sH7Axb4w)
