Some things to consider:

View of pond is nice, so higher point might be good - can watch fish feed, set up telescope and rifle mount to discourage invasive critters [coons, rats, beavers, ect.]

The sounds of the pond on Summer evenings are also enjoyable [bullfrogs, birds, ect.]

So I would choose high and close, if that's possible.
