I am notating my bongos in 4/4 and if you look at the last two bars, they are almost the same. Can you please help me by telling me if the 3rd or 4th bar would be more correct? It seems silly using a tie there but maybe it should be notated like that.
thanks

The basic rule is not to write a note which "crosses" the mid point of a bar in 4/4. Either of your bars 3 and 4 are OK, and 3 is usually easier to read.
One exception to the "don't cross the mid point" rule is if the whole bar is syncopated, like the last bar in the example below.
