Default Aileron & Elevator Pivot Location

I know for a rudder pull-pull set up that the ideal location for the control horn pivot is the center of the hinge line. Is this the best location for the Ailerons & elevators for the best geometry? Most of the photos I have seen on this forum lately have the pivot somewhat rearward of the hinge line. Is it better to have the pivot closer to the center of the 8-32 control horn bolt?
