I doubt there's a difference in secret garden drops but I'll farm there and see how it goes.

I will also take into consideration the state of my helper team as well as others have mentioned to stay consistent.

It's the same Secret Garden, with pretty similar drops, but 12-3 is a relatively easy map to fully clear all the chests (2 squads starting right in front of the blue arrow node, the rest starting in the bottom node), mix teams around a bit depending on their strength and speed to make sure the teams passing through the bottom left chest and the top chest can actually beat the pests right in front of them, though that shouldn't be a problem with 40k squads. It's a safer investment of stamina than the later maps which have a bit more RNG and avarage below that in the amount of chests picked up.
