This depends on application architecture and hardware requirements. let say you have hardware with same specifications then Least Connection method is recommended. If there is any difference between specs then you can use Ration based on members/nodes.

 

Ex: Round Robin :- Same hardware & Same Response time from application/DB for all requests

 

Least connection :- Same hardware & different Response time from application/DB for requests.
