Depends on your music, i guess.
Wanske, and my fine B"arenreiter say: follow into staff.
See init/scripts.ly:
staccato = \script { "staccato" 1 -1 0 0 0 }
tenuto = \script {"tenuto" 1 -1 0 0 0 }
the first number is the boolean: follow_into_staff.
Make your own script.ly, or redefine the accents you want this
non-default behaviour for.

Btw, the distance is not fixed, but always between stafflines.

You can force the postion: UP: a^. DOWN: a_.
(i hope we'll change this soon :-)

What would the rule be, to set the accent at the stem-side?
