I would put them on the side of my NON-dominant hand, reasoning that I'd have the sponge, cup, pot or such held most safely in my dominant hand, leaving my other hand to operate the soap dispenser or other items you asked about. Sounds so great that you're making such progress!

Take a look in your sink box for the templating paper that is hopefully there. I do know there is/was a thread on faucet placement awhile back...

For me, I respectfully disagree with smiling in that I wanted everything on my dominant hand. And because of our bowl configuration it is. Most templaters/installers want to line them up in a straight line along your back edge.

Placement issues...
make sure they are far enough away from your sink lip if it is an undermounted sink. (don't ask! ;)

make sure to leave enough room between the faucets and your back wall to avoid water being trapped and to make it easy to get a sponge/towel in there to cleanup

I like the air switch near by to the garbage disposal and is the far right side of our setup

Depending on the size of your sink to cabinet, you might have room to put the hot water faucet on the opposite corner from your main faucet.

Wherever you put the two faucets, try to avoid putting them next to each other, as to avoid them banging into each other...

Templating... lots of little decisions to make at this time. Have your favorite vice available afterwards for celebration!

Here's mine. I do the dishes on the bigger side so that's where my soap dispenser is. My instahot is on the right because I am left handed and can hold a cup in my left and turn it on with my right. This setup works for us and DH is right handed. I also like to be able to run really hot water down my disposal. Airswitch on end for easy access.

Natesgram...thanks for posting. I never even thought about the instant hot providing hot water for the garbage disposal. Why do you do that?

What granite do you have? It looks really similar to mine. I think yours has more carmel pieces in it, but still very similar. I have a slab of Golden Antique waiting to be cut soon.

Natesgram, what kind of faucet is that? I really like it!

Here's a pic of our sink - on far left is instant hot, then faucet is centered between soap dispenser and faucet control. Our disposal switch is on wall to left of sink. The sink is the large blanco silgranite single bowl:
