equal numbers of A- and B+, and nothing else

or

roughly equal distributions of A, A-, B+, B, with a B- in administrative law and an A+ in torts

depends on what you are trying to do. if i were a biglaw employer, i probably wouldn't care-- a 3.5 is better than a 3.4 and worse than a 3.6. if i were a personal injury lawyer or a litigation defense boutique, i'd say the latter option looks better because at least you got an A+ in torts, so you'd be good at the specialty. likewise, if i were the epa, ftc, fcc, cspc, feca, etc, then i would rather you have all a-/b+ because then at least you didn't screw up administrative law, which would be the basis of what you'd be doing in those agencies.
