Troy - I'd advise aft of the mounts. This will give a more stable
lifting position and will not stress the mounts unnecessarily. You
can see how we did it last year on Tim Houlihan's G-BZTH in my Picasa

I needed to extend the jib fully to reach aft of the mounts, and some
care was required in choosing the strop attach point to avoid
damaging pipes, wires etc.
