I need some help from the diy led gurus.

Meanwell XLG constant power drivers.
How would you guys power six HLG qb288 rspec v2 boards with them? Particularly the xlg-240w. I wanna put six qbs per "fixture" (that will cover from a 4x4 area). Three xlg-240w, each driving a pair of boards, for 720w total.
Looking at the datasheet, my thinking is XLG-240-H-AB per pair of qbs if wired in parallel? XLG-240-M-AB per pair of qbs if wired in series? Am I wrong here? And is this...good? Efficient? All that.
I'm more familiar with hlg series drivers, I'd always let the CC or CV distinction determine whether I'd wire in series or parallel (not dealing with advanced series-parallel configs).
I also want to remote mount the drivers, I've never mounted them to fixtures before. But this'll be three DC out power cords running up and over to each fixture, right? No way around that?
And lastly, I also wonder what would change as far as recommendations, for qb648 diablo boards, in the same setup? Specifically, would any one XLG-240w driver choice be suitable for both the qb288 rspec v2
and qb648 diablo setups? Considering that:
qb288 rspec v2: Max current per card 3000mA @ 54VDC
qb648 diablo: Max current per board 5000mA @ 56+VDC
I think I'd prefer to wire in series, which is not what I normally do.
Thanks guys.
