Hi Andrea, I'm inclined to agree with Tom - there is no default that will work in all instances. That being said, you can use an #ATTR_LATEX line to modify the placement for each image - see here: http://orgmode.org/org.html#Images-in-LaTeX-export
Alternatively, (and this is very much a hack, which I can't guarantee will work) you could make the org-mode default behaviour be [ptb] by replacing the =(floatp "[htb]")= line with =(floatp "[ptb]")= in the =org-export-latex-format-image= function definition in the file org/lisp/org-latex.el ... you would have to do something similar to the =org-export-latex-tables= function for tables.
