Should I:
-Run wiring from A, to C, to B?
OR
-Run wiring from A to a junction, then to B and C?
Typically A>C>B is easiest, and wire is cheap. Simple, less connections=more reliable.

In the second case, the junction must be in a box, and has to be accessible. Also keep in mind that there is a code as to how many wires & devices can be in a box, based on the size of box(cubic inch) and wire gauge.
