Mobile Lab - location relevant?

[KerbMav]

My new space program is not quite there yet, so I am asking you:

Is the generated science higher in orbit/on the surface of far away places?

Or is it only a question of where the scientific data put into it comes from?

RoverDude, a dev, gave details in another thread:

Stuff you folks probably care about:

• Scientists matter - the more stars the better.
  
• You can plunk data in even if you have no more normal science to gain (otherwise it would limit what you could use based on when you got the lab unlocked).
  
• You get a data bonus if you are on the ground vs orbit.
  
• You get a data bonus if the lab is in/around the same body the science came from
  
• Science rate is based on scientists and how much data you have.
  
• It has a long tail! But anticipate about 5 science per data.
  
• Each lab can, in it's lifetime, research only one copy of any single unique experiment result. Goo at the poles and Goo over the grasslands are two different results.
  
• You can put an experiment in as many labs as you like
  

In short, the best place for the lab is on the surface of the same planet/moon that you did the experiment on.
