Doub what chord shapes and neck positions do you find useful when playing these 7's.
I have developed some of my own ideas and would love to hear someone else on this topic.
I wonder what the best way to show each other would be. I'll start drawing up representations of
what I've come up with. but I'm definitely stumped on good places to play a B7b9.

:) .... for a B7b9 I would usually play 4th D string at 9th fret for a B, 3rd G string at 6 for a D#, 2nd B string 10 for an A, and 1st D string at 10 for a C ... alternately, a C diminished (fully) chord anywhere (D# dim, F# dim, A dim) would do the trick quite nicely.

other chords ... (I'm naming frets for 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st strings respectively)
F#m7b5 = 4554(or7)
E7 = 2100 or 675x partial or 979x partial
Gmaj7 or 13 or 9 = 4000 or 5454 or 5777
Em7(9) = 2434
Cmaj7 = 9555

I play a lot of partials that add up to the chordal sound that I am looking for

Doub is there a reason behind choosing mostly low root notes on the fourth string instead of higher ones on the first string?

sometimes the voicing just works .... but
you'll notice that the maj7 voicing with the maj7 on the 4th and lots of voicings with the 3rd on the 4th string work very nicely. As I said before, I usually look at a "chord" as a bunch of clusters of notes rather than a particular LH position

...is it me or does that Am9 shape sound good everywhere?

yeah ... me too .... it sounds great over a A7(9) as well (no 3rd in the stack) ... I use those ambiguous stacks a lot ....
