I have 2 #4s running across the back, and 1 pointed forward against the glass. All in the back left corner.

Yeah, that a pretty debatable question. It's almost totally preference. Just try some different set ups.
I've also had 2 on opposite sides facing each other. Then I put the 3rd near the back glass blowing water parrallel to it, in order to keep water stirred up behind the rockwork.
ScorpiNo's is most likely the best layout.

well, it depends on rockwork. I have two small piece of rock that touch the back glass, but rock does not touch anywhere else. It creates a cirular pattern...

I have a pump pushing water along the back of the tank, from one back corner to the other, and another on the opposite corner pointing towards the front middle. Both are maxijet 1200s
