Not Ranked
Outside of the trunk
I prefer mine mounted somwhere outside the trunk. I figured that it would be pretty noisy in the trunk cavity, and if you had any leaks, whatever is in your trunk (clothes, luggage, top, tonneau) is ruined. Also, if you had a minor leak, it would be difficult to trace - with it outside, any minor leak will leave a spot on the garage floor - helping to pinpoint the problem connection.
I mounted mine on the left hand frame rail, outside the trunk, behind the left rear tire. It is very accessable, I could lay on my back and change it on the road without jacking the car up.
I actually did that once, with my old '66 Shelby GT350. I had an electric fuel pump on it mounted the same way - on the frame rail behind the left rear tire. The pump was an auxilliary for the NOS system I had on the car. On the way back from a dinner cruise, a Sunbeam Tiger in our group suffered an electric pump failure (his car had ONLY an electric pump). I stopped to help him, and in a matter of minutes we had my pump swapped to his car (and a piece of rubber hose connecting the fittings on my car), and we were both on our way home.
regards,
Jeff
