Whether your in the A, B,C, D, E F or G position, you shouldn't park yourself there anyway. There is nothing wrong with moving the legs and always trying to improve your position, just come to a stop and make your call.
In two man mechanics I would recommend the position that accomplishes the above. The why is a matter of who you talk to or the manual you read (for two man mechanics).

+1.
I like C for bases loaded (sometimes), R1/R2, R2/R3, and R3 only. I'm moving on every play into position, and I'm never in either "B" or "C" once the ball is hit. It is merely a starting point, and C is a much better starting point for R3 only, and is a personal preference with bases loaded, depending on which I feel comfortable in based on who is batting and the situation. I am every bit as close on a 6-4-3 DP as someone starting in B, because I know how to move around the diamond properly.
