Several improvement suggestions for the MQTT Bridge documentation

When I need to establish a bidirectional MQTT bridge, EMQX currently supports three configuration methods:

  1. Create a bridge on a node and configure ingress and egress at the same time
  2. Create bridges on both nodes and configure egress on both nodes.
  3. Create bridges on the two nodes and configure ingress on both nodes.

But now the documentation fails to tell me what is the difference between these configuration methods. What scenarios are they suitable for?

For example, when I need all clients to publish messages to the topic bridge/topic and subscribe to remote/bridge/topic, which configuration method should be used? Or what are the requirements for topic design of different configuration methods?

In addition, when implementing messages from A to B, will the performance of A actively publishing to B be better than that of B subscribing to A? It would be nice to mention this on the documentation.
