I have to say that I immensely preferred watching the anime chronologically. I think the main advantage the broadcast version has is that "Melancholy Part VI" feels more like a proper conclusion than "Someday in the Rain" (even though I find the latter episode to still be nice and soothing regardless). But the scrambled order felt more like a gimmick than anything else, one that I could do with or without. Even though all of the main action happens in the Melancholy arc, it doesn't get any less entertaining from "Boredom" anyways.

So really, I would recommend the chronological order. The broadcast order usually requires repeated viewings in order to catch everything you've missed.
