Once did a 4am-3pm Tues-Fri.
Long weekend every week. Gruelling hours and early to bed in the week, but you can push hard on 4 days. The rest was covered by a nightshift (5's) and a weekend shift (reduced ops).
Depends upon what has to be managed, controlled, coordinated. You will find it hard to get the answer here but surely the caravanners down your way actually want a weekend shift so they have the place to themselves in the week?
Do know a guy working for a major courier company in Aruba. He works the hours we all want. His 3hrs of daily work is done before the sun hits the horizon every morning....
