ALWAYS staggered... except on the twisty roads (pick your own best/cleanest/most strategic line through the full width of the lane), or on narrow roads, a bit less staggered.
And it is always best for the lead rider to be nearest the dotted line on the side of the adjacent lane which the lead rider is most likely to switch over to. So lead rider in the fast lane on the freeway should NEVER be in the far left position, as to change back to the slower lane(s), the lead rider would then have to cross the path of the 2nd position rider to move 1 lane to the right.
This doesnt always work out and needs adjustments in situations where the rider can anticipate a right hand turn and may need to be hugging more closely to the shoulder on the right (USA etc), use with discretion and logic, but this works best when travelling on major routes and interstates / freeways.
Also with 6 lane freeways, the basic rule of thumb goes out the window if you are in the middle lane of 3 lanes in your direction of travel, & must be adjusted to the side of the lane which the lead rider most likely suspects they will be switching to next (exiting vs passing, or passing in slow lane if fast lane is obstructed bt a slow driver etc).
It all comes down to situational logic and reasoning...
