ANSWER: Hi Jalyn -
In my humble opinion, the best spot for your grape vine will be either #1 or #2. The plant definitely needs full sun - at least 6 hours of direct sun each day.  Choose whichever spot will provide the most room.  Air circulation is very important in growing grape vines, in order to reduce the incidence of fungus and mold.  I think Houston is pretty humid, so air circulation is even more important in your case...
Good luck!

QUESTION: Thanks !
Should I plant her now - or wait still fall or next spring-
She 's in 5 gallons pot-

Answer
The best time for planting grapevines is early spring. It's getting a bit late - and fall is not a great time for planting the vines unless you can be sure that your soil won't freeze over the winter.  When soil freezes, it tends to heave the roots out of the ground (it can do this with other new plantings, too). One final note - remember, you won't get a real grape harvest for about 3 years.
If you can keep the vine going in the pot over the winter, I'd wait until next March/April to plant it.  A 5-gallon pot is a nice size.
