I like what TonyG says here.
I cannot imagine that you'd want to be on the hind edge of the beat.
Frankly, I rarely think about it directly, and when I do, it just
confuses me! I just play from instinct. But I kinda suspect that the
best OT backup guitar players (Luches Kessinger, Roy Harvey, Hub
Mahaffey, Asa Martin, and others) were either squarely on the beat or
pu****ng it slightly (driving the rhythm by slightly anticipating the
beat).
