It shouldn't make a difference. Two different point on the same wire.

Just wire it at the ECU, it's easier. Make sure and use the ECU power and ground as well, or there's a chance you'll get noise that screws around with the readings.

really? I get my power from the accessory wire that goes to the radio, and ground it behind the dash somewhere... I have like 5 LED's light up at once at WOT but I'm told thats normal for a honda?

The noise isn't that bad. You're fine using regular power and ground. On a couple cars I've seen that are using standard power and ground, when the windows are open/closed or the power door lock activate you get lights lighting up.
