  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.
