Default Best type of beam pattern for roll bars?

Im looking to place 4-5 (KC apollo lites) lights on my roll bar, whats the best beam pattern? Driving/Spread or spot beams to drive through dense forest? I have two spot beams already on my bull bar in front that are aimed above my head lights and I have fog lights aimed below that. I avoided light bars as Im looking for more traditional look for my truck, which is why I went with a roll bar instead of light bar mounts. Since I already have apollos, I want to go more uniform and get them for the roll bar; unfortunately, they don't make a flood pattern...Only driving/spread, spot and fog.

Spot in the center, flood/driving on the outside.

If 5, 3 center spot & 1 flood/driving on each side

Many lights have optional lenses that clip on over the light to either change the color or change the light pattern.

When I had mine years ago, I did 2 and 2 with the center 2 being spot beams. What I found out was the driving beams overpowered the spots. This is not the case anymore with the newer style of kc lights with the quick connect. They aren't what they used to be :/
