From what I've read its a good idea to put one right before the alterator.

I have a 200 amp in the wire that comes off the cutoff switch to the front of the car, and a 150 amp on teh wire running from the alt to the battery, that one is up in the engine bay by the alt. This way, the wires in the car, should they short out are going to have the power cut.
