Default Oil Pressure Switch

I’m putting in an electric fuel pump and installing an oil pressure switch to turn it off with loss of pressure for safety. Does anyone have a recommended place on the block to install it?

The usual spot for that is at the top of the block at the rear next to the distributor.
