7.1 surround high front

[johnwhite]

new to 7.1 surround with high front, wondering which is the better setup for

high front or surround back?

If you have original 7.1 tracks then go for surround back. Front high is similar to prologic surround which derives surround from the other channels.

John,

there is no content with dedicated front height channels in the recording, however there are 7.1 tracks with dedicated surround back channels. Even when there is no 7.1 content, Dolby Prologic/DTS Neo will extract surround back information from 2 channel or 5.1 tracks. So, logical choice is to go with surround back instead of front heights. Although that depends upon your seating layout and whether you have some distance between side speakers and back speakers. If you do - then 7.1 setup is ideal.
