Default Formation flying

I was told by one CFII that when there is a formation flight of
different performance aircraft that the slower plane should be in the
lead. Reason was that the faster plane can always keep up. Another
CFII (ex AF) said just the opposite - that the faster plane can just
throttle back. I don't remember if he had any other reason. What is
correct here??

Regards,
Jerry
