For me it is tip of the tongue to the tip of the reed.......period. And I also disagree that there is a choice as to where you position the mouthpiece in your embouchure. Given the "sqwawk point" (which is what I think you are talking about), there is ONE ideal point along the facing to maximize the response of that mouthpiece. And yes, it may even feel as if the tip of your tongue is curling back to get to the tip of the reed, but that is because you are used to applying the tongue differently to that ideal.
