I would strongly suggest you try a traditional seat position if you don't have any reason not to. Look up the techniques that go with the following terms:

1. Find your "cycling inseam".
2. Multiple that by .883. This will be the saddle height measured from the center of the cranks to a point about 2" from the back of the saddle top. There are diagrams online.
3. Put the saddle level or slightly nose low (1 degree or so).
4. With the bike on a level floor, use a string and a floor length mirror to get your saddle fore/aft position using the KOPS method. Consider this a forward limit - it's okay to have the saddle further back, but further forward will cause problems.

If you aren't experienced riding, everything is going to feel weird at first. So give that a try. Keep in mind that reach to the bars is not something you fix with saddle position - if you are stretching too much, raise the bars or get a shorter stem.

Put a few hundred miles on, then decide if you need to change something. I did the above when I was 17 and still have the same position 35 years later.
