The weather was warm a few weeks back and I was flying with my NACA ducts for cabin air open. They are located just forward of the lead edge of the wing and approx half way up the sidewall between some of the spruce verticals and diagonals. There is a considerable "high" pressure change in that area from climbout to cruise. On climbout there is very little air entering and it picks up considerable when leveling out for cruise. I'm using basically the plans built pitot and static setup. Other than the needles seem to "bounce" around a lot in turbulance, it seems to work fine. As for a fuselage static port, I'd be inclined to agree that the widest part of the fuselage might be a good spot. Then again it might be the worst spot and I'd still agree so take your best shot.
