I've wondered about this for years, but never come to a sound 
conclusion. The only thing I think helps is to do the RR before the 
LR. If I really thought hard about it, I would probably do

RR
LR
LF
RF

But it really doesn't seem to matter if you're willing to go around a 
second time. And if you do it by gravity and just let it take its own 
time, it doesn't seem to matter at all. Almost any pattern works as 
long as you don't let the reservoir go dry and suck air into the MC. 
If you do that, you get to start all over again.
