I think you have many choices at this point, but I would decide where you plan on putting your fuel tank.

Logical battery locations would be in front of the passengers feet in a secured box mount, or on the left or right frame rails behind the driver or passenger seat.

I think at this point you would want to choose what you are going to use for floor pans and where you are going to put the tank, that will help you with battery location ideas.
Thanks
The floor boards are in and the tank is mounted up front behind the steering cross arms.
