With a typical design, let's say 12" tall, do you cheat it down at all because of the risk of it being partially covered by the hood dangling?
My typical pacement (on a large) would have it 4.5" down from the seam. I probably tend to cheat it down another 1/2".
I have found that in general, when the shirt is worn, the hood does not go down as far as folks may fear.

Hoodie placement for me is at 5" from the hem. Also consider that when a zippered hoodie, is not zipped up, the hood will hang a lot lower.

I generally adjust by 1/4" increments per size. Same for you? And, btw, I rarely get orders for full zips over pullovers.

Not changing placement by size. I like to keep things simple, so we use standard placements and only change if requested by the client or necessitated by image/garment size. For example, the horizontal center of an image must not print lower than the horizontal center of the shirt. You run across this when trying to place tall images on small garments. In this case, you would want to shift placement closer to the neck or it looks as if the image is placed way too low. IMO.

I have orders in house right now going from XS-XXl, so I find I do need to adjust the placement at the very least for XS-S, M-L, XL-XXL

this is a good question, we've printed tons of hoodies and our placement is about the same as a t-shirt, we've ask people about lowering the print for the hood and they tell us no, put the print like you would on a tshirt because the print looked funny down that low. I think if I remember correct that we place a print below the hood for a client and the next time we printed they ask that we move it up, so I'm going to say it's a customer call for us.

6" is usually the max I would go down. 5" tends to be plenty since the hood doesn't go down that much when being worn.

were 6"-7" on adult hoodies for standard designs so it can be seen with hood down , if customer wants higher we warn about possible obscured design.
