to answer that, i believe there's no room for discussion there, then.

if the machine's only function is NAT it does not
run external services.

if i have an external service which i want to have
jurisdiction over the input traffic on, i run it behind the LAN side.

if i have an external service that i don't care about
getting download traffic control over, i run it where it
makes the most sense to me.

perhaps you don't have the same liberty of convenience.
