markwesti, If you are comfortable on the bike, you already have it completely right.
While there are some standards for the routing and length of cable housing, those are aesthetics they don't effect one's fit. Once you have the drops adjusted to your natural (intuitive?) grasp and angle, the hoods are then adjusted to their natural grasp location. My fit process starts with setting the KOPS to what is natural for me.
There are several 'set-up' recommendations and they often differ in one or more detail. One maybe perfect for you, but there really aren't any rules, just guidelines.
