Drill them at a downward angle (about 20 degrees from the pipe is good) 1 cm above your usual water line - this will minimize the amount of bubbles generated as well as minimize the backflow.

Also, constantly turning off your powerheads and return pumps will shorten their lives - I leave everthing on, and the fish chase after it.
