put it in the middle, on the 2 core switches.

although it doesnt really matter for a campus as long as it is on boxes with plenty of memory - but co-locate with the RP is sensible.

if you want some background then try

"developing IP multicast routers" Cisco Press. Main drawback is it doesnt worry about non Cisco boxes.....
