13x10 Room: How to put bulbs?

Hello, as the title says i have a 13x10x10 room (13 ft length, 10 feet wide) available for growing. I have 24 autoflower plants and 4 photoperiod ones vegging for about 1,5 week since their germination. I want to do a setup with 9x600w vertical but looking at the room i don't see how it would be made possible. The only setup that maybe could work is this:

...plants...
p...x...x...x..p
...plants..
p...x...x...x..p
...plants...
p...x...x....x..p
......plants...

So, four rows of plants (6 plants in each row and 4 plants to the sides, the ones marked as "p", those would be the photoperiod ones for a back 2 back grow).

How do you find my plan?

Besides this plan, i have another one, with 6x600w placed vertically and 3x600w placed horizontally with my diy adjust-a-wing type reflectors i use now for vegging.

In a rectangle room, I think it would be more efficient to use traditional top lighting and not use vertical or stadium. Your lights will cover the entire room more perfectly.

It'd be ideal to stick with
xoxox
OXOX

ETC.

Unless you your not running rdwc. Then your concept might work but it will be a pain to water. My bad for being vague. High...

Yeah the vertical gavita?

All I know is that 600s don't work all that well for vertical. Or at least I didn't have that great of luck.

bulbs and plants are going to be on about 24" centers. Meaning buds about 12" from bulb
