  John,
  
  If it were my IVP (or any other), I would definitely put the transponder on
the bottom, and add an identical one below that as a matching pair.  It
appears that you have the panel space.  A transponder is a go-no-go item for
IFR.  I wouldn't want to be forced to land in rural Podunk Airport on a Friday
night in bad weather, and be stuck there until VFR weather resumes or until
Monday morning, whichever comes first, to have the transponder fixed or
replaced.
