Mounting the first mailbox store in a storage group takes more resources that mounting additional stores in a single storage group. So, from a pure resources point of view, there may be some advantages to multiple stores in fewer storage groups. All other things being equal, I think I generally prefer it that way as well, although I personally don't have enough practical experience with disaster recovery under a multitude of scenarios with E2K (thank $deity), so there are some parts of the 'optimal' E2K design which are still a bit theoretical in my mind.
