The in / out of cockpit fuel plumbing is an age-old argument but=20 personally I like as much of the fuel system in the cockpit as=20 possible. A leak there causes an unpleasant smell. A = leak=20 under the cowl is very likely an in-flight fire.

The right choice? All depends on how it's = implemented.
