Because power is delivered to each group of 3 ports, you Could spread your power hungry devices across the board to share the load between the internal power supplies. This really isn't necessary though as all ports should be capably powered by the internal PSUs.
For speed though, put your highest priority devices at the USB input end of the device, as it is essentially 4 USB hubs in series. The first 3 ports are accessible, with the next hub daisy chaining off the 4th port. Therefore, all the data for ports 4-13 are all carried through the first hub. This is fairly normal for hubs as controllers have 4 ports. This is why most hubs are 4, 7, 10, or 13 ports.
