I would not say opinion and guessing as much as experimentation and observation. Problem is, it's a whole lot easier to relocate strawberries than apple trees once you learn they need more shade. Like Debbie, with experience I've learned that my high altitude western desert sun behaves entirely differently than sun in other regions at sea level, so I plant accordingly: most crops go in half-day shade. That probably wouldn't work in your climate and location.
I think befriending growers in your immediate region is your best bet.
