Another point to consider is your crew's upper body strength.

If the cleat or hoist point is on the tramp or beam then they can use their legs to grind the halyard up the last bit.... If it's on the mast then you are using your upper body strength.

Also, you have an experience factor of the crew keeping their feet while standing up to hoist the chute. Inexperienced crews can always hoist the chute from their knees with it on the beam or tramp.
