Position of Eheim Spray bar

[stream]

I would like to seek your opinion on where I should place the outflow spray bar for my Eheim 2228 canister filter for a 60x30x40cm(2x1x1.3ft) planted tank to achieve optimal flow. Assuming I'm placing the inflow pipe at the right rear corner, where and how should I place the spray bar? I'm listing out a few options assuming I'm facing the front of the tank:
1. Left pane,
2. Rear back pane,
3. Front pane, spraying towards the back pane.
4. Right pane, same pane as the inflow pipe.

For any of the above position. Any recommendation on:
1. position of the spray bar: parallel to and near to water surface, mid water and parallel to water surface or diagonally(tilled at an angle with the tip end facing the substrate.)
2. water spray direction? (Downwards, Horizontally, till slightly upwards to create ripples?)

Where did you place your spray bar and why?

TIA

It depends on your scape. Keep in mind that the position of your spray bar will determine the direction of your current in your tank and this ultimately will also affect your scape which again depends on the the scape that you are having.

I have one tank that depicts a river scene, so I have the outlets in my tank all pointing towards the same direction. I have another tank that has no particular scape in mind but I just want a most efficient water flow to minimize dead-spots, and for that I just have my spray bar positioned in the center of the back pane facing forward, angled slightly upwards to create surface agitation to encourage gaseous exchange as that is a low-tech set up.

Another point to note if you are a feng shui believer is to always have the water flow away from the door so that your wealth does not flow out.

My 2ft feet is facing the door and was thinking of getting a rainbar to flow from the back to the front, which is flowing towards the door. Think I should rethink this option haha.
