Toward the back - having it in the front ( for me ) is an annoyance as the
handle has a tendency to smack me in the legs while walking. For practical
use, the well of the souls method makes the most sense - the handle is
clipped securely in the keeper, and pointed forward, making for a quick,
one-handed, across-the-body draw. :junior:

I'm typically found wearing it with the handle inside the whipholder and facing front. This way it is setup for a crossdraw and can be flicked out. If I remember correctly, this is actually the setup that Indy is using when we first see him use it in Peru.
Another note, is that when worn this way, "whip slip" isn't as much of a problem.

I voted "depends on my mood", but most often, I wear it handle in the back, or simply slung over my shoulder and across the chest as in my avatar. I also tend to carry it on my right side as I don't have a holster there, and I'm right handed, it just makes sense and feels natural to me. It also stays clear of the satchel that way.
Here are some pics that illustrate why I typically choose to carry it handle in the back.
It stays out of the way when your climbing.
It doesn't trip you up or smash your kneecaps when your running.
