Rear Shock Mounts

I have just swapped a 5x5.5 d60 into the rear of my jeep. I am now trying to decide what is the best shock mounts for the rear axle. I will have the top mount coming through the floor and tying into the rear part of the cage but on the axle itself which is better? The shocks mounted on top of the axle? The shocks mounted on the front? One on fron and one on back (like stock chevy) or both on back?
 
If you're still running leafs, the best option would be front and back, so they can better help control spring wrap.
If you have a ladder bar or coils/coilovers, I would put them on top, or both on back of the axle so that they're out of the way of rocks.
