you can always test various options using a couple of step ladders before you permataly place them. I would prewire all locations, that way if you ever go 7.1, your ready to go. to answer your question for 5.1 you normally want them to the sides and I would say atleast 2-3 ft above ears when sitting, or higher. I used to have mine ceiling mounted and worked great.
