I ran a few of my hives as a medium over deep this past winter here in Richmond. You will need to consider where you want the boxes to be coming out of winter. In other words, you may wish to have the medium on the bottom.
I was thinking about it the other way around. If you start the medium on the bottom going into winter, box rotation gets it back on top for the spring. And the bees over winter on the deep frames, which I believe is better.
