The second picture is my rear end. The calipers arent actually mounted that low, they are just hanging there at that point, they actually ended up near vertical, in other words the bleeders are pointed straight up.
I have looked into this a little, and found no evidence supporting one position to be better than the other, in front of or behind the axle, or clocking the caliper either. Even with the caliper mounted horizontal, they can be bled by removing the caliper, installing a shim to simulate the rotor and bleeding normally holding the caliper in your hand......that is a pain in the arse, though.
Mount the calipers in a way that gives you the best clearance and easiest maintanence. After that I try to match the clocking of the front caliper for aesthetic purposes.
