Pod book structure

Hoping someone can share some more color on how pod books are commonly structured in terms of concentration, # and size% long and short positions, typical % of GMV invested (vs cash) etc.

One specific q- at which pods do you have to pick both legs (long and short) vs which do you pick one leg and then the firm itself factor neutralizes?
