hmmmm... well, in theory if you are shooting at convergence they will all pass through the same small area at your target/aim point so it shouldn't make any difference unless you are inside convergence (and aiming a bit low to compensate) when the outer guns might hit the wings.
Assuming you are shooting at convergence you need to consider what it is you are trying to achieve. AP is good for destruction (control surfaces, possibly entire wing, etc?), bomber engines I guess or pilots/crew. Incendiary types for starting fires. Tracer incendiaries tell you where your shots are going, DeWilde (an element of incendiary) has no 'tracer' but gives a nice splash to confirm when you are on target. The RAF pilots loved DeWilde when it was introduced. So do I
