Where to put them
I have two conflicting thoughts on the subject.
First, power reserve indications on the front of the watch, make little sense. Really you only need to know the state of wind when you put the watch on and when you take it off. Placing the power reserve indication on the back of the watch works perfectly checking this way. Plus, placing the indication on the back, removes clutter from the dial.
Second, the reason to place the indication on the front is that it can make the dial look cool. I think Breguet does this best of all.
So two totally conflicting points of view. The only way to rationalize them is to say that if it looks cool and makes the dial look cool, place it on the front. If it is not cool and makes the dial look cluttered, place it on the back.

The only way to settle this is by a duel of power reserves
Gentlemen, select your watches Full wind at 20 paces and let them run. Honour will be satisfied only once the winner\'s watch runs longer than the impudent challenger

Thank you Jeff for your input
As you mentioned, Breguet did that very well. It is not the main reason why I bought it but I really love my La Tradition with its front and... back power reserve ;-) I will post some pictures of it soon... with the front and back power reserve indicator ...
