Unistrut first, then the tubs.

I put the top piece on Kindorf on "upside down" if that meter pack has the Z strip that you bolt fast to hang the meter pack on. If it's not the type that has the Z strip, I just do two strips of Kindorf, top and bottom.

if the walls are not finished on the inside yet, you can install braceing on the back side of the siding, or if wood would be allowed, use a sheet of plywood on the inside, then on the outside you could run jr.strut up and down in between the ribs of the siding.
