Backup camera for base model: license plate mounted or trunk lid?

I am evaluating several backup camera options for my 2010 TL base. What do you guys think is better in term of viewing angle coverage and difficulty of installation (wiring, power) between the license plate mounted vs trunk lid mounted camera? Thanks.

trunk lid will look bad unless you do the OEM spoiler with the camera hole in the spoiler. License plate camera or go with the one that fits where the bulbs for the plate goes.

Since the license plate is pretty low to the ground, would it be advisable to get a camera with adjustable angle such as this one: Esky License Plate Backup Camera, Rear View Camera 170 Degree Viewing Angle Universal Night Vision Waterproof High Sensitive 7 Bright LED Reversing Car Camera
