It doesn't matter one way or the other. In fact it doesn't matter very much adding unsprung weight even on a race car. It's unavoidable and whatever changes you make you need to learn to live with.

It's almost just academic.

Probably the Pantera with the best unsprung weight vs. performance potential is a completely stock one with the skinny tires and smallest wheels.

Virtually everything you can do to the car for better braking and handling will increase that unsprung weight.

I wouldn't worry about reversing the axles. It's a drop in the bucket.
