That does look like a dilema. I've attached Dolby's quick, down and dirty guide to placement on a 7.1 setup for reference. The sides normally are 90 to 110 degrees from the sitting position. Too far back and you'll loose the effect of the rears.

If you have the ability, the absolute best way would be to wire for both positions and then just try them out and see which one you like better. I'm no expert but I would probably opt for the postion along side of the seating rather than behind in order to better enhance rears and the 7.1 effect.

Good luck.
