the second option is better i believe for sturdiness, that's why all plywood decks/floors are installed that way
also make sure the 3/4 T&G ply is glued down, it helps

shed floor plywood layout?
I am building an 8 x 12 shed. I am planning to have 2x6 joists 16" oc. I am using 3/4" tongue & groove plywood for the floor.
Is there any reason to lay the plywood in one orientation or the other?
I could lay 3 sheets with the 8' dimension of the sheet matching the 8' dimension of the shed. Or, I could turn them 90 degrees, which would require cutting the sheets.
