A good rule of thumb is that the closer you get to the very edge of the speaker, the more bass response. No right or wrong, obviously.

BTW, a sealed cab will not have as much apparent bass...

No No! I'm not talking about pointing the mic straight at the center of the cone. That sounds horrible!
I point the mic at the driver, not the dust cover.
