Away from the magnets. Magnets will affect Hall sensors of any type. Yon may require (or want) a cover or housing hole to place the (any type) sensor and allow adjustment (if needed). That method is common, especially for some chain- or tooth-drive timing systems under covers, where it can be mounted through the cover to read the existing or added teeth. Optical sensors are not as common; but they can certainly work well if you can keep it clean, have a concept and place that you can cope with, and the means to do it. Use what works for you, as each of us has different tools, skills, and conceptions—not to mention completely different stuff (dimensions, materials, clearances, etc.) we are working on.
