Honestly, it depends on how you want them to function. If all at once then run them in series and use one set of wires to power them. If you have say two flood and two spots, etc. then run them for their purpose and that will dictate the number of wires needed going to the vehicle.

Goes without saying but ensure you run wire able to handle the expected load.

Had a question so here is an explanation: You run items in a series when you want all or none. If you run in parallel then one could be out and the others work.
