Which one of these configurations is good?

Hello,
I want to launch an HAProxy for below infrastructure:

HAProxy Server : 192.168.56.7
Apache Server 1 : 192.168.56.8
Apache Server 2 : 192.168.56.9

Which configuration is better?

Configuration number 1:

global
    log         127.0.0.1 local2

    chroot      /var/lib/haproxy
    pidfile     /var/run/haproxy.pid
    maxconn     4000
    user        haproxy
    group       haproxy
    daemon

    # turn on stats unix socket
    stats socket /var/lib/haproxy/stats

    # utilize system-wide crypto-policies
    ssl-default-bind-ciphers PROFILE=SYSTEM
    ssl-default-server-ciphers PROFILE=SYSTEM

Any idea and sample welcomed.
