I just stick them on where the velcro is on my leathers. Once you start getting KD you can see if they need to be re-positioned by the scrapes on them.

As for which one's to buy......well I don't think i've bought a pair yet, I just keep nicking them from Sharpy
Just get some fairly cheap one's, no point wasting loads of money on something you're gonna scratch anyway
Also, don't get titanium/sparky sliders if you're planning to do trackdays as they are not allowed.

I've got some ready scraped if you want to save yourself the bother?
Like Fee said, once you start scraping that's when you find out what position they want to be in, just start off with them in a sensible place and go from there....Everyone's body position is different so the placement will alter as well

People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to pick on rich women than biker gangs.

I stick em to my head as that is far more likely to be touching the road than my knees.

I would have thought your almond would have been a better place to put them!
