Default Adding outlet

I'm adding an outlet about 5 feet from an existing circuit and teeing
from from an outlet in that circuit. I can't recall how I should connect
the the new out/wire to the existing outlet. Is it better to run from
the existing to the new and loop back to continue the run or to add a
single run to the new outlet from the existing outlet and piggy back
using shorter wires and wire nut?
