When to Fill up

I know I have seen threads that give the best time fill up ... empty vs 1/4 etc ...

However has anyone determined whether its best to fill to half a tank all the time or refill at the half way mark? Law of averages aside, I was wondering more about gas evaporation and whether or not gas evaporates faster in a tank that is half empty with obviously more agitation or mostly full, with less room for agitation.

Thanks ...
