Or wherever the drive is fastest.

True.

I ignore this.

If you don't wish to ignore this, you could create multiple
logical partitions and make them PVs. One at the beginning,
one in the middle, one at the end. Next, you create TWO VGs.
"VGslow" contains the logical partitions/PVs "start" and "end"
and "VGfast" contains the PV "middle".
