Where oh where do I place my speakers

I just bought a Yamaha RX-Z1. This unit allows for front main (L/R), front and rear centers, Rear (L/R), and front effect speakers (F/R) I have a pair of NHT VT-2 for the front main speakers, I have four (4) NHT VS-2, and a pair of HDP-2 speakers. I was initially planning to use the HDP-2 as the rear speakers and the VS-2 speakers as the front and rear center and front effect speakers. I've heard that the HDP-2 make great side effect speakers.

1) Should I use the VS-2 speakers for the front and rear centers and the rear left and right speakers and use the HDP-2 speakers as side effect speakers?

2) Does it matter if I use side effect speakers instead of front effect speakers?

3) Where should I place the front or side effect speakers?

Thanks for the info. I understand where to place most of the speakers. The fronts, rears, and centers are pretty easy to figure out. It's the effect speakers. My receiver manual says to use front effect speakers, but I have Hybrid Dipole (NHT HDP-2) speakers which need to be mounted on the side. Mounting them equal distance between the fronts and rears would put one side of the effects past the seating area. Would it be better to mount them between the two rows of seating. This puts them much closer to the rear speakers.
