Some cars have them in front of the strut and some have them behind the strut. Does it make any difference in braking ability? Other considerations?

The front or back on the horizontal is prefered in order to minimize the effect of any slight play in the wheel bearing being transfered to the brake caliper/pads. There is also the flexing component to deal with. The other issue is the space on the vertical usually being occupied by suspension members and pick up points. AFAIK.
