I have fixed gear with standard horizontal drop-outs (not track ends, or vertical drop-outs).
I have just changed the chain and have the choice of either having the chain short so the axle is positioned about 1/8" from the open end of the dropout, or with two more links in to have it deeper and about 2/3rds the way in to the drop-out. What is the strongest/best set-up do you think please - I do not intend to change sprocket-sizes or the chain ring?
