I use a Paige and park it "on" the nut.
It’s a personal choice. I guess I copied some of the banjo founding fathers. I have 4 guitars and 3 banjos. Each has a “permanent” capo behind the nut. A combination of McKinney, Elliott and KatEyz. On the other hand, I despise clip-on tuners. I bought a very expensive used guitar and regrettably somebody stored a $15 clip-on tuner on the head stock and now it is permanently darkened where that tuner sat (but the guitar is so awesome). I have one Peterson clip-on I can take with me if I’m away from home but I put it on long enough for the initial tuning and then put it away. Table top Peterson tuner in my music room. So for my personal taste (and 48 years of playing, 4 professionally) capo yes - tuner no.
I use a Shubb and park it "on" the nut.
I also use a tuner that clips on to the brackets. No one sees it but me.

Kids these days, eh?
Those two kids (and their two kids) sell those tuners at their concerts - a reason for them to leave them on the headstock.
