My daughter is 4.5 and we have been doing a 2/2/5/5 schedule. We are thinking of moving to a weeke on/ week off schedule. Is a sunday eve drop off (with a 15 min drive to the other parent's house) or a monday switch at daycare better?

Monday switch.
Sunday is part of the weekend.
Many times I have arrived home late with the kids and to drop them off at their mom's at that time would not be reasonable.
Also, when I don't have the kids, its nice to have a full weekend, which may mean being out late Sunday, or coming home Monday morning.

I on the other hand do a Sunday evening (4:00pm) switch. I like it because I get to pack up the kids lunch/snacks, ensure homework is done (because stbx never looks in their school bag Friday-Saturday-Sunday).
If either of us are visiting family on Sundays, both of our sides do big lunches...so we can easily drop off by 4 (or we flex on the time if needed...).

We do 50/50...weekly rotation. After a few trial and errors we found that exhanges at the school or daycare work best.
We've had exchanges on Sunday, Monday, and now Friday. We moved it around based on what we felt was best for our child as well as based on what he was asking for.
Friday is by far what works best with us. Our son gets to spend 2 days at home with the parent he hasn't been with for a week. A great way to start the week
We also have a mid-week overnight visit on Monday with the parent he's not with that week. This is moved to Tuesday if there is a long-weekend.
