X bracing generally is the strongest arrangement if this is what you meant "the most effective".

In plan layout, the center of rotation of the bracings shall be coincident, or as close as possible, with the center of rigidity of structure to avoid/minimize incidental torsion. Also, the bracings shall be provided as far from the center of rigidity as possible to resist the torsional effect, if any.
