Another thing to consider is lever positioning.
On the rear, people typically put the QR levers on the left, away from the derailleur and etc.
Likewise, it is customary to put the QR levers on the front on the same side (although there was a topic about people who liked the QR on the right).

I was taught to set the levers directed straight back to avoid snagging stuff.
Others choose to make them parallel to the tubes, or in the rear triangle.

However, do not direct the levers forward or downward. I suppose it would be rare to snag the levers on a road hazard, but you don't want them opening unexpectedly.
