On my first set-up I did the hard-line direct connection. It was supposed to be the "best" way. With min the vaporizer ended up being pretty much as the same level as my radiator cap, so if I wasn't careful or lost any coolant (slightly weeping radiator didn't help any) I could get an air bubble and it would freeze. This was before I knew about the bleed plug and was still learning how this stuff worked. With a solid rad and knowing how to bleed they system it might not be an issue now, just make sure to brace/mount it security so the hard-line doesn't crack anything (we are harder on things than any street-rig)
In my current set-up I actually have the vaporizer mounted vertically on the firewall inside the rig (no top, no doors, pretty open so I'm not too worried). Keeps it clean and I can monitor it and see if its freezing up or having issues without popping the hood. I like it there and it made for a pretty clean install as well. I shouldn't have to monitor it, but since my rig is a clapped out hoopty with junk yard parts.... keeping an eye on it is a good idea.
