I suggest you consider both the gaps between line-positions (prefer gap of 2 
staff-positions)
and the full range of line-positions (prefer to have repeat dots within the 
staff)

If someone writes tablature and wants a staff-space = 2 for some reason, he 
probably want the repeat dots in their usual positions. (His choice on whether 
to also increase the dot size.)

If someone writes 2-line percussion somewhat more narrow, he will probably want 
the repeat dots inside the staff.
