I say the bottom hose so convection heats all of the coolant in the rad and possibly the motor,I have noticed mechanics install it in the easier to reach top hose which makes no sense to me.

Coolant heaters are great. I already use one. What I'm looking for is for when you can't plug in and also for "finishing the job". I'm not sure how hot exactly my coolant heater will get me, but I know it's less than 140 deg F, where my gauge starts reading. I still have to go all the way up to 190 deg F before my thermostat even starts to open. In my truck that can take over 5 miles. My commute is 25 miles so that's over 20% of my distance right there.
