Default Is your high point above or below the rigging point?

Obviously for the example chosen we are talking a single leadered tree like a pine.

I have heard some say your tie in point should be above the rigging point as it helps you climb out further and the rigging point should be stronger.

I have also heard that your rigging point should be higher coz you dont want to snap out your high point if you overload it and also the likelihood of your lines getting caught in the rigging is lower.

Have a look at the diagram, what's your thoughts.

And yeah, bit of a poll to see what people generally do.
