Default Antenna Placement?

I hear that it really doesn't matter where you put the antenna inside your NON-carbon-fiber fuselage, as long as you don't put it right next to the engine or the battery. But is there ANY advantage to mounting it to the side/bottom of plane, and/or if it sticks straight up or down or pointing fore or aft?

My Hitec Optima receivers only have one short antenna. But my small Minima Rx has TWO short antennas; should they be oriented parallel? 90 deg angle (if so, in the vertical or horizontal plane)? One pointing up, one down? One forward, one backward...etc.

Thanks!
