This is interesting. I have never considered putting choir anyplace
except at the bottom, like an orchestra without strings. I'm interested
to hear your reasons for other positions.
Out of curiosity, I opened a new score in Sibelius using a concert band
template and then added a choir. Sibelius placed them at the bottom.
I know this is a the Finale list but this machine is waiting on a
reformat and Finale is temporarily uninstalled.

calls for the choir to be placed above the strings in the orchestra,

especially in concert band music, which seems to be written
overwhelmingly for the educational market.
Speaking with my conductor's hat on now, I prefer to see the chorus in
the middle of the score, between the saxes and trumpets.
