Default Which is stronger - eurobracing or cross-center bracing?

On a tank that is 9 feet long x 27" high x 31" deep, there should be some sort of bracing right? But which type of bracing is stronger? Eurobracing the entire length of the tank or two 12" cross braces at the 1/3 and 2/3 mark of the tank.
I prefer eurobracing but I don't know if the glass for eurobracing will be strong enough to stop the glass deflection bowing on a 9 feet tank. Anybody with experience on this?
