Just got the derailleur hanger for my Octane One Zircus which has horizontal dropouts, however it has a slot so it can be moved, not sure why or what position to use it in. It looks like this:

I tend to set mine for as short a chain stay as possible if there's tyre room and I'm not running the bike SS.

Shorter chainstays give slightly more maneuverability, slightly less high speed stability. Longer chainstays are opposite, giving slightly more stability at speed, but slightly less maneuverability.

Depends what you ride most, tight and twisty or fast and open.
