Yes I searched before posting and no, I couldn't find anything.

I like B better because:
  • It's one less connection in the chain, so one less source of problem
  • It's not powered
  • Blue looks good ;D

What's your take?

There are a few possible scenarios about your choice :)

A might going to work with your motherboard and B is not
B might going to work with your motherboard and A is not
A and B might not going to work with your motherboard at all
A and B might going to work with your motherboard without any problem

B

You dont need to power m.2 adapters if you are using powered risers.

Any feedback with the Asus Prime Z270-A?

I have 3 Asus Prime Z270-A 9 card rigs, I use both spare slots on the boards with type A M2 adapters. I don't power them with the cable supplied. They work fine just plugging in and powered from the riser.
