Wow! Great benchmarking there. Thanks for doing the heavy lifting.

I think with proper engine optimization, "before" should be the
fastest option... all that's necessary to add A to B is to have the
end of A point to the beginning of B, then have B point to A. No extra
copies needed.
B: bbbbbbbbbbbbb
A: aaaaaa
put A before B
B: bbbbbbbbbbbbb
A: aaaaaa---^
bbbbbbbbbbbbb
B: aaaaaa---^
