I'm wondering what experienced PD architects consider the best practice here; if the second approach is better, I begin to question the advisability of wired inlets for more than two or three arguments. The left-to-right ordering of them, along with the rats-nest wiring caused by high numbers of inputs, seem to argue against them. The only downside I can see to the second method is that if it's not done neatly, i.e., the senders are placed indiscriminately and not necessarily near the abstraction they're sending to -- it could become very hard to understand/maintain the patch.
A neat trick is to use one (!) send/receive pair for all (!) your abstractions, but "tagging" your abstractions with an argument, that you pass to a [route $1] inside.
An even neater trick is to use [sssad] to handle all this routing.
I'm working on a saving-tutorial which covers this in more detail. It's almost done, attached is the preview edition.
