Not everybody will be able to shoot, and so there is no single "best" configuration. However, in my opinion the arrangement in which one robot is in each zone the one that will offer the most balance regardless of a robot's ability to shoot or its lack thereof.
Also realize that if the ball shot from the middle misses, you want somebody to track it down so it isn't shot to the other side. It could even potentially be scored. The other thing that could happen is that that robot can prevent the defender from attempting to block the shooter.
