Default Jackstand location when lowering front cradle?

I need to replace the oil pan gasket, (yes, for sure). I hear its best to lower the cradle while supporting the engine with a hoist for pan clearance. Since I will be fiddling with that front cradle, where is a good spot for the jack stands to rest under the car?

I would put them on the frame where the jacking pucks go. It's made to support weight so I would think that would be the place to put them. Be careful you don't put them on the rocker covers though.
