my gut (guess) says here that if the db and web server are on
different boxes, you will want to put pgbouncer on the web server box.
my reasoning is that you have lots of libpq 'auths' going on to
pgbouncer and far fewer real auths to the database, so you want the
leg with the greater # of auths to get the local benefit. reason #2
is the less going on in a dedicated db box the better.

I'm interested in this too...does anyone else have experience in this matter?
