Along the longitudinal axis, I think that we should use whatever the published weight-and-balance reference is for each aircraft, since that's what any published figures and distances will use. For single-engine Cessna's, it's the firewall; for some Piper Cub data I found, it's the leading edge of the wing at the fuselage; and so on.
