Salomon draft

2 player Solomon draft goes as follows

All boosters are mixed into a single pile of 90 cards
Roll a die to choose who goes first
The first player picks first 8 cards from top of the pile and divides them to 2 equal piles, either with 4 cards in one pile and 4 in other.
If first player finds some cards much more powerful than others he can do piles that are 5 and 3, 6 and 2 or 7 and 1. 8 and 0 is also possible but not recommended.
then the second players picks one of the piles and that adds that pile to he’s draft pool.
The players switch roles second player now picking next 8 cards and dividing them to 2 piles.
The last patch will have 10 cards. After that you create decks adding basic lands.

4 player Salomon draft goes as follows

Decide the order of players by sitting down in random order or how ever you see fit.
Instead of mixing all cards together and taking 8 cards at a time, you draft 1 booster at a time, creating 4 equal piles out of the 15 cards in that booster.
Players pick one of these piles at a time each adding theirs to his or hers draft pool.
You continue until each player has opened 3 boosters.

What is the best way to divide 15 cards for 4 players in your opinion?
