When do I want a search engine's spider to run across my RSS feed link?
Before the heading (not saying header tag..)
During the heading
During the main content
During the footer
After the footer
Completely irrelevant
Other
And why?
As I understand it, it wont really matter much where the link/button displays but where on the page it is written in the code.

To help Google find your feed faster, you can submit it as an RSS sitemap in Google Webmaster Tools.
Google Webmaster Tools: www.google.com/webmasters/tools/
Go to Site Configuration > Sitemaps > Submit a Sitemap
This method has the advantage of telling you how many URLs have been added to Google's index.
You should have a link to your RSS feed in your <head> so browsers and other user agents can offer users a chance to subscribe to it through the RSS icon in their address bar (or however it chooses to show them there is an RSS feed available). Because this is the default way to offer an RSS feed it is safe to assume search engines also know what to do with it. So I would say where you place it on your page is irrelevant as long as you place it in your <head> properly.
