Fuel Drains

I'm about to put my fuel drains in my monowheel, as I see it I have three 
choices.

1) Right next to the inspection hatches
Good: One sample gives you what's in the tank.
Bad: Lying in the mud to get sample

2) In the back with the gascolator
Bad: Long hose runs to sample the tanks. 4 or 5 samples to see what's in the 
tank and not in the lines.

3) Under the seat in the outboard pan Forward as possible. (Section opposite 
the fuel filters)
Good: Easy to get to with the wings rigged. No lying in the mud. Shorter fuel 
line run approx. 18" 
Bad: More fuel under my butt. Drains slightly higher than tank bottom. The 
head of fuel and the 1/4" tube to the back of the tank should take care of 
that.

I'm leaning toward #3 but I've never seen anyone do it. ( usually a bad sign 
)

Comments?
Happy New Year,
