Just got a new powerhead for my 29g and its the same style just a bit more powerful,(old=550gph new=600gph)
Long story short, whats the best placement for my LR setup, and will get me the best flow?

Put it on the opposite side of the tank. I have 2 Koralia 425s in my 20 gallon on opposite sides. One pointing slightly upward to agitate the surface, the other just a degree or two below horizontal, and they are controlled by a Hydor Smart Wave to alternate their flow (so that I don't end up with a 20 gallon swirling vortex of fish death).
 
I would think having them running at the same time might be tough on your fish. The controller was about $70 at BRS.
