How to eliminate pressure drop?

First timer here. Where is it best to tie in to existing water line, near main or at other end of house? Whenever garden hose is used someone either showering or using sink gets less water and there is a noticeable pressure drop. Same happens when someone uses water inside, less water at hose. Currently there are two hose bibs connected to half inch and they are tied into waterline furthest from main. Would branching off just past water main and remainder of water line going to other fixtures be better and have a straight 3/4" run to other end of house and then branch off from there for the two needed bibs? Or will this 3/4" home run pull water from other fixtures in house as well causing a pressure drop again? Thanks in advance.

The closer to the main the better. Distance makes a difference in friction loss. Also, increasing the size helps to reduce friction loss.
