Default Thermostat - Which One?

I am going to install a thermostat in the Model A. Looking at the catalogs I see there are two different temps (160-degree or 180-degree), and two different mounting methods (in-hose or between water outlet & head).

It seems the 160-degree is most commonly used, but that the 180-degree is better for performance (comments from the catalogs, not mine or anyone I know). Also, any advantages or dis-advantages to in-hose versus between the water outlet & head (one catalog only lists in-hose type)?

I was wondering what experience others have had, which they prefer, and why?
