I'd suggest looking at where OEMs or competition racing cars put their brakes. The assumption is that those people spend millions of dollars looking at these sorts of questions.
For the C6R and Stingray for example, GM has the brakes in front. On F1 cars though it appears like they are very low in the back.
Some of these things may be packaging issues, the F1 car for example has a lot stuff going on around the caliper, but you have to assume that their goal is to maximize everything to reach peak performance with their very light weight, high horsepower cars. Shifting of grams lower means more to them than it does on a production corvette or even for the C6R.
Again, it's pretty much not going to make any difference, but this is the approach that I will often take when considering something like this.
