my favorite spot for those skis is -20mm (2cm's) from dead center. personal preference, though. some kids will swear dead center is the only way. i would recommend you move up a bit from the suggested mounting point if you're just going to be skiing park.

The further back you mount, the easier turning will be, center mount will make skiing around the mountain a little harder

no, not at all. i've become pretty accustomed to skiing a ski that's mounted further up than the suggested point. if you keep the bindings mounted a bit back from dead center they'll ski fine. you may notice some tip diving in pow but you're probably not going to be shredding too much pow with your park skis anyway.

if u ski the vast majority in the park, get center mount no doubt! those skis are very close to being semitrical so when centerd it will ride like a semitrical ski and still tear up the rest of the mountain!! you will really benefit from mounting them center in the park, and the ski will do all mountain fine

This. I tend to ride dead center on park specific skis, and 1.5 to 2 cm back of center for everything else. I'd mount cronics just back of center for an all around ski that rips in the park, or straight up center if your gonna ride mostly park. Basically:
all mountain with a few park laps----2 cm back of center/mid-sole
park with a few top to bottom laps----center/mid-sole

if youre basically only skiing park, you can center mount them (but dont need to at all). i'd say just bump them up a couple cm's from recommended

-2.5 from center kills it everywhere. I ski about 80% park, and I think they do fine on rails and jumps.

this. everyone on line wears them dead center and so do I. learn from the pros lol. I've riden mine in feet of powder at dead center and they still killed it, although a wider ski would have been slightly more fun lol
