I currently have my treadles tied 1234 from left to right. And it seems ok as that's how I learned in my first and only workshop where I made three towels ( although on that weekend I also had 5/6 for tabby and for my current pattern tabby is 3/4.
I just watched a you tube video where the teacher advocates tie ups so that you can "walk" the treadles first left foot then right so they go : 3124 across . On a small 4 shaft loom I don't know it it really much matters but someday when I'm working with 6 treadles, or maybe even 8, perhaps the improved ergonomics will be sufficient to do it that way. If that's the case, then I'd like to start training myself in a consistent fashion. As Laura says - if you can't be perfect, be consistent :-)
I'm interested in your opinions.
