If my team isn't much stronger than the enemy (there are still enemies that can give your troops more than the minimal 1 damage per hit or aable to directly hit your swords), I tend to use lower middle(square) or, less often, upper right(echelon) because I try to avoid the chance of getting disadvantegous formation over attacking and speed formations. But if you're feeling lucky, upper middle(horizontal) is pretty good.

OR if your team are strong enough, I'll use one of the attacking formations, preferably the upper left (fish scale).The biggest threat is Yari anyway and there's nothing you can do about your mobility or leadership to outrun their speed and evade their attacks. So you can only try to boost your impact and impulse to get higher chance to OHKO them at the first round so they won't attack twice.

But with team strong enough it'll barely make any difference.
