600 Amp service

[GG]

I have a 600 amp single phase meter base that will feed 3 - 200 Amp breaker boxes. The 3 panels will be indoors. 2 of the 3 panels will be fed from the back of the 600 amp meter base. My question is what is the best way to feed the 3rd panel from the meter base? A gutter or LB?

I assume the meter has three lugs to connect your service cable to. Then I would use whatever works the best. I usually use an LB as it is cheaper then a gutter.

I will use an LB. As for the lugs they are only 2 barrel but I will have to change them to 3 barrel as I dont see an easier way to feed the 3 panels from only 2 lugs without having to set a gutter to feed 2 of my panels from a conductor that I use split bolts to tap into which sounds like more work that just swapping out the lugs.
