Which Battery on Dual Battery Setup For Aux

I'm wondering if there are any suggestion for determining which battery to use for auxilery components, i.e., winch, lights, etc.... I have a dual battery setup on my 2012 6.7 dsl. Thanks for any input.

Just guessing here, but it shouldn't matter as they are wired in parallel. Probably easier to add jumper wires on the right one (passenger) as I believe it has less stuff attached to it.

That would be my suggestion. Either or wont matter, but the passenger is less crowded.
