Like others have said, I route the cable from the right hand brifter (rear derailleur) into the cable stop on the left hand side of the head tube or down tube, then cross the exposed cables under the down tube. Same for left hand brifter. It's cable routes to the right hand cable stop. For DA7800 and Ultegra, I have found I can use a bit less housing (less weight is good), the turns are a bit less abrupt and it looks better to me. Pretty much six of one and half dozen of another. Go with personal preference.
