Hey Slicepong,
Yes you’re right there, and it depends from person to person. Find out what you feel most comfortable with. I agree having more follow through helps with serving half long. I would say to serve consistency half long well, serve and land the ball just after the mid point of the table, you will get depth and ease. If you serve near your white line you will serve in the net often without good touch and feel.
Great you’re thinking about this and working on these serves, it will make a big difference long term 🙂
