I vote for C which is a combination of A and B...
Bodes law doesn't work. It doesn't work for the planetary moon systems
(Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune), it doesn't work for the any other
star system we have information on (the pulsar system that it did fit
recently had its planets replaced with perodic solar activity by our
system), and it may not even work for our sol system... Why? Some
astronomers have started to piece together the orbits of a bunch of
asteroids between Earth and Mars and are speculating that this could be
another asteroid belt...
I would argue that the best way to do it is to place them where you want
as long as they are not too close to each other or the star(s) to
disrupt them... I don't remeber the formula but will look it up and
post it when I have time.
