I've been running strat over and over in my head because it is kind of my job...

IMO if you are on an alliance that can reliably stack recycling cans on top of stacks, and you have robots that are capable of making 6 tall stacks comfortably, then it is definitely worth it to make 6 tall stacks because you have a bot that can stack them with a RC.

Otherwise, if you have to stack the RC yourself or do not have an alliance member that can cap the stacks off, it is much quicker to make stacks of three to four and make a lot of them.

It's kind of like R-strategists and K-strategists. Do you want to make a lot of little tiny ones or do you want to make little, but big ones? It depends on the resources you have.
