Default Want an opinion re. placement of overflows

If you were going to put two overflows into a tank ...

would you place the overflows into the corner, knowing that this will lose you some viewing area on the side edges,

or,

would you place the overflows at say the 1/3 and 2/3 points (e.g., on a 6' tank, one centred at 2' and one centred at 4')? You won't lose the viewing edge on the sides, but it's more of a challenge to aquascape.

or,

would you place the overflows in the corners, but go with "cup" style overflows? I.e., the overflow boxes don't go all the way to the bottom. instead of the bottom being drilled, the back glass is drilled. To be honest as a compromise though, I'm not sure if this is the "best" of both worlds or the "worst" of both worlds.
