it depends on what you want, really. If you want to increase accuracy of a mortar, then you should go for minimal spread. This 'spread' feature becomes more and more prominent as the number of mortars you use on a ship increase.

The 'splash' feature, however, is totally different. It is safe to say that a higher splash is always definitely better than lower splash mortars. Splash damage is like a shockwave of damage that is emitted from the striking of a mortar on the ground. Therefore, the higher it is, the better.

The same can't be said for 'spread' as higher values will only result in an increase in the inaccuracy of the mortars. However, this could be useful as well as it covers more area.
