If you have a choice I would go with less backspacing. It saves some weight if nothing else.

Narrower rear end is lighter and stronger. On the other hand a centered wheel is probably the strongest and least flexible.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

My race car had a set of Monoque that were 15 inches wide with 3.0 offset from the back side I have two other sets of drag race wheels, a set of Centerline 15 inch wide with 5.5 offset and a set of Welds 13.5 with 4.0 offset. I think Weld offers offsets in half inch increments and Centerline use to only offer 3 1/8 and 5 1/4 inch offset regardless of the wheel widths, I think: work:

7 1/2 inches? on a 10" rim? Not uncommon on later vehicles - Mustangs in particular.

The original poster was talking about 12" wheels.

I'd find the rims you like, then that makes th e rear end choice for you. You may change rims over the life of the car, so pick something common/standard Only want to buy the rear end once........ Otherwise you might have to order custom offset wheels from somewhere like Holeshot. Not a bad thing, but expensive.
