It needs to be up high, higher than the oil line would be when the pan is full.

as close to the top of the oil pan as u can get it to be... if u put it lower the oil will back into the line and therefore the line will become backed up

There is a little tip about placing it across from a crank main. As in, don't mount it so that the crank itself is swinging directly in front of it, as this could cause turbulence, thus hindering oil return.

This was brought to you from Honda Builder's Handbook, Vol I.

make sure you can get to all the studs/bolts and the return isnt in the way of puting the pan on

I loosely attached my downpipe to the turbine side when marking my oil pan. It's hard to be sure of a good placement without doing this. The advice to tap up high is good, as we all know gravity is doing most of the work in the return line. Here are some excellent, up-close pics courtesy of Dustin's site:
