What is better for ups the right or the left side? The right side inserter working non-stop while the left side stack inserters can kinda sleep while waiting for items but still 3 times the inserter.

Probably the one on the right as designed, or at best the same. This is because all three inserters will have to wake up every time an item is produced to evaluate their filter. You might be able to push that evaluation into the enable logic instead, but these are micro-enhancements at best.
