Not YC specific, but from what I've heard from friends that have pitched VCs fairly often, earlier is better because that way you're not the n-th pitch they've heard that day. I know when I've been at startup events where there's a lot of groups pitching I'm much more attentive for the first ones. Pitch #24 has to really be something for me to even remember what they're doing.
