Returns/dd limits/Sharpe/Constraints for LS equity (fundamental or quant)

Hi friends, I'm a newbie both here and professionally, so apologies if the questions are not very advanced,

I'm curious about the long short equity hedge funds, either muti manager or single manager,

Thinking about a pod model case for example, what are the typical returns that teams achieve before leverage, is it significantly different between fundamental vs quant?

Are fundamental teams allowed more drawdown limits? My impression is that quants are highly diversified and tightly risk managed, is this true compared to fundamental? What are typical dd limits for fundamental vs quant? Same question for Sharpe, can fundamental pods achieve any meaningful Sharpe if they have concentrated portfolios?

Similarly, are constrains typically looser for fundamental pods compared to quants for similar reasons?
