It comes down to the portion of the end-to-end quality attenuation (quality 
attenuation - ∆Q - incorporates both loss and delay) budget  you want to assign 
to device and how you want it distributed amongst the competing flows (given 
that is all you can do - you can’t “destroy” loss or “destroy” delay, just 
differentially distribute it). 

As for ingress/egress capacity being almost the same, that *REALLY* depends on 
the deployment scenario….

You can’t do traffic performance engineering in a vacuum - you need to have 
objectives for the application outcomes - that makes the problem context 
dependent. 

When we do this for people we often find that there are several locations in 
the architecture where FIFO is the best solution (where you can prove that the 
natural relaxation times of the queues, given the offered load pattern, is 
sufficiently small so as not to induce to much quality attenuation). In other 
places you need to do more analysis.
