it's very hard to decide in such cases. You'd need long-time statistics
to see which driver behave how fast, comparing to their sizes and
average object sizes, so you could guess what objwects to put into what
cache_dir.

I can only advise you not to use memory-based disk, and let OS/squid
use memory for buffers and caching instead
