I'd lay the strips out on the lawn in front of the house in the two versions below and run some animations. Pick the one that looks the best.



There are a host of controller options. WLED is a very popular one and allows for both of these setups to act the same- you can reverse each segment and have the animations play each way. Granted, you want the “right” way before you permanently install it, but both of these can be right, assuming the controller allows for it (my front lawn has a 50-pixel section running one direction and a 116 pixel section running the opposite, but with the reverse segment option, they basically function as a single segment, and animations “flow” through them to where you’d need to look at the actual cabling to know they are “split.”

Came here to post this. Actually it took me a minute to understand OP's dilemma until I remembered not everyone runs WLED.

FWIW I put LEDs all around the ceiling in my son's room and the physical wiring is like option 1. All I had to do was reverse one segment like Doc said and his animations flow all the way around the room as expected.
