I have just been looking at my tank and it has suddenly started to make me think, what is the ideal height above the sand, to position the filter intake?
 
Opposite to outflow. Water in is usually high so water out is low. As long as neither are blocked/shaded and you get good flow/mix its up to you.

Ultimately its scape dependant
 
I've always gone for the intake around 3/4 the way down on the opposite side to the output which ideally is not very far below the surface.
