In therory having it tucked in as far forward as can be would maximise stiffness and response of the bike, and having it hanging out the back would be more comfortable. In practice unless you've got 4" long dropouts it don't matter much.
If you've got an expensive track frame with tight clearances, getting it as far forward as can be maximises the "crikey" factor down the pub.
