Generic QoS/Traffic Prioritization Question

I understand the concept of QoS that you should queue customers upload closest to the customer(on cpe) and download(closest to the circuit). I have been experimenting with doing some Traffic Prioritization throughout my network. What is the answer for “best practice”, Should you put QoS(Traffic Prioritization) on your edge routers and just let traffic flow through your transport routers or should it be put on every router throughout the network? See examples below for network diagram example of what I am asking.

Traffic Prioritization- Not customer specific traffic but traffic type QoS.

RT1:(Core Router)
ether1(WAN)
ether2(rt2 interconnect)
*Customer Download QoS
*Traffic Prioritization on this router

RT2:(Transport Router)
ether1(uplink/rt1 interconnect)
ether2(transport to rt3 via wireless link)

RT3:(Edge Router)
ether1(uplink/rt2 interconnect)
ether2(to ap switch(customers))
*Traffic Prioritization on this router

CPE
*Customer Upload QoS

Is this “best practice”? Or should i have Traffic Prioritization on RT2 aswell?

I would suggest that it should be in addition to the rtp put and do some QoS at equal speeds, this in order that if anyone on the outside-half then does not interfere with other
