Rene: In my view, first check with the blank manufacturer and find out what they use or recommend, then tape the guides in the appropriate place based on the manufacturer's suggestions. Following that, you can fine tune the placement by stringing a line through the guides and then making individual adjustments. You can even try test casting. You may have to make more adjustments for multi-piece rods due to the ferrule positions.
The following ULR is a guide, however, Tony Spezio also recommends a chart put out by Hook & Hackle that I cannot locate at the moment. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/begin/graphite/part9.html Neville (Nev) Gosling Greater Vancouver, B.C.

In my opinion there must be differences for tip action blanks and full flex blanks, even if they are of the same weight. Any ideas? Rene
