In the 688 the two TA are different: one (don't remember if port or starboard) is the "thin" array the other the "broad" one.
The "thin" array is "more sensible" and that means it could potentially detect contacts at greater range and it will wash out at a lower speed than the "broad" one. So the choice of which one to listent to in a given moment depends on the tactical situation at hand. You can stream both of them, if you want, and then switch to the choosen one in the "navigation" screen before going to the broadband/narrowband TA screen.

OK, that might be different in LWAMI. In stock DW, both 688I toweds are the same and it's the Seawolf that has the 'thin' and 'thick' towed arrays.
In that case, in stock DW, the starboard array on the Seawolf is the more sensitive one (TB-29). I think that's the default one. 'Stream the starboard towed array. Helm, aye,' sounds more common to me than the port array lol
