Everyone that I know who runs a wideband place it in the dp. You want the sensor to have the least likelihood of getting expose to outside oxygen.

I have LM-1 sensor in the dp and I had a very small leak in the falange between the dp and the high flow cat. Even though the leak was BEHIND the sensor, the sensor picked up the leak @ WOT and made my AFR between 0.5-1 full point off.

Go to a muffler shop and have a bung welded in the dp. It should not cost you more than $40.

I've always tuned via wideband in the tailpipe on a dyno and been happy with the results. I guess it's a matter of opinion.

I had a nasty post WB leak when one of the cheap gaskets B&B gave me with my exhaust crapped out and there was no change in my readings, before or after I fixed it. YMMV.

Better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
