ScramChops,

By all measures "B" in terms of orientation is superior. "A" is a major compromise to mix function.

As far as treatments...Auralex LENRDs won't help you much in either function. The Auralex VENUS, GIK Monsters...etc...thicker heavy duty traps are needed.

Also, a cloud above mix in the range of 8'x8'x4" is a must.

Think about four or so of the GIK 244 on stands behind the speakers in "B" set-up.

There's more to it obviously. The main point to keep at hand in this space will be careful monitor placement. Expect to take some time: weeks/months to get optimal in factors. Definetely a room to utilize measurements. Select three tracks as reference throughout the process that highlight balance, imaging and LF response.
