Depends on too many factors to answer that. What best effect are you after? How much rock is in there? How does this rock affect flow? Do you have corals? What kind? How big? How many? Fsih? What kind? Do they like current? Many others.
Basically, put the pumps in and move them around until you're happy with the effect and the corals and fish appear happy.

like reef_raf said we really cannot help you hear becasue it is your own personaly opinion on where they should be pointing. I am sure alot of people here dont know your rock set up maybe if you can post a pic of the over all layout of the tank we can help you more.

Axilla,

I always liked ai least a couple of powerheads opposing each other, to create a surface boil and a downforce of water where they meet.

Many moons ago when I used a wavemaker, {Tsunami}, I would have at least two of the pumps on opposite ends, operating at different times. This creates more of a chaotic current, when the current from one of these pumps intersects the current from the ones already running.
