Default Custom Tank

Hey guys. So I'm getting a tank built and Im submitting the order tomorrow. Its nothing crazy. Just the sizing and overflows/returns are all things I can customize and so I thought I'd quickly ask if anyone has anything I should know before I submit the order.

Basically Im getting a tank that will be 72Lx24Tx22W because that is how big my stand is. So essentially 165G. I'll be getting two overflows. The drains off these will be 1.5" and I know my returns will be 1" as well.

What linear distance should the overflows be? I'm thinking dual 10 inch ones. Also, where should I plumb the returns? I was thinking just into the back of the glass, as high up as possible, I'd get them to drill holes between the two overflows. Or should I do it through the overflows?

Thanks guys, any other suggestions are welcome.
