Setup advice

Here is my current room:

Setup advice-acoustic-setup-2.jpg

To treat my room, I will buy two packs of Roxul Safe n' Sound (3'' thick) because it is the only one available at my current location in local stores. The problem is that I don't know if I should buy two packs of 8x 24'' large, two packs of 12x 16'' large or both (one pack each). I do not have the money for three (that's why I go for two packs). Here are four pictures of potential setups, I want you to choose the one that seems the best for you (post the letter and explain why if you want). Thanks!

P.S. I did not include the cloud in the pictures because it was hidding the desk (but keep in mind that there's one).

If you are on a budget then go with a minimum of 4" in depth with 25" across and cover as much corner area as you can. Basically the more area corner area you cover the better.
Basic room set up
Basics, Bass traps, Diffusion, Panels video

Understanding bass waves.

Yeah I know you already told me this, but can you just pick up a letter please (that seems the best for you)? Thanks!

I would face the bottom wall which will give you better symmetry left and right of the mix spot.
