Default Which way to go?

I am tossing up the idea of going towards the middle (if it fits ie door clearance) and mounting the tyre higher to put a high lift jack under. Don't want to go overboard with heaps of weight on the backend though.
One advantage is I can make a few swingaway carriers to fit and see what I like without it costing the earth.
Have also seen some where the wheel is higher and at an angle - does anyone know the reason for this?
Everyone has their own preferences, so it's a matter of working out what you like and what works, for what you want to do with it.
Also, still deciding what to use to hold the wheel up - whether I go 1 upright, two at an angle or all three. Same again want something that won't break, but don't want excessive weight.
