When I get home from overseas, I'm gonna put some smaller boards up front, just because I think the oval boards are kinda ugly there. I might put the oval boards in the middle position, I might put the Kuryaken "wings" in the middle position, or I might just keep pegs there. I'll have to try different combinations to see what I like the best and which is most comfortable.
Personally, I prefer comfort over elegance, but it'll be nice if I can incorporate both qualities into the overall foot-rest situation.

I don't want a crash bar up front, visually it's not my style, so the mid pegs made the most sense.

I got to choose when I bought my Fat Bob...never thought twice about it and went with mids. The debate between mids/forwards is almost as controversial as the helmet debate. For me, one of the Fat Bob's main strengths is its handling ability. Putting forwards on a Fat Bob just doesn't seem right.

You will also need to purchase a pair of pegs to suit or get some stockers off E-Bay or wherever.

hopefully they will be comfortable and not really noticable when folded up

Great minds think alike! 
I just bolted mid-mount pegs on to my 2009 Fatbob this past weekend too.
For the record:
Item Number Description
---------------------------------
50666-07 FOOT PEG BRACKET and B(rake mount) - Crinkle black paint
50667-07 Support, FTPEG. LH - - Crinkle black paint.
3214 SCREW, TAPPING, FXD' Qty 4 to bolt the brackets to the bike
7045 LOCK WASHER, Qty 4 for the four bolts above
4180 SCREW BUTTON HEAD T(orx) - Qty 2 to bolt down the foot pegs
7667 NUT HEX LOCK Qty 2 - Nylock nuts for the foot peg bolts
Not listed:
2 of the spring washers that fit between the peg and the inner wall of the peg mount to hold the pegs up.
2 foot pegs of your choice
Locktite Blue for the 4 bracket bolts
You can also get the brackets in chrome, but they are nearly double the cost.
The only issue I have is the ~5/8" diameter polished steel pin that acts as a pivot for the brake pedal on mid-control equipped bikes.Visually the pin sticks out a bit too much. I should have painted that pin flat black before I bolted that right side together.
Maybe a project for next weekend
CYa!

My years of riding dirt bikes have taught me that mid-controls are just where the shifter and brake are supposed to be. Twisties and forward controls feel wrong to me.
And stretching out without that stuff in the way makes different foot positions possible. I found that forwards made my feet stay in 1 position and cramped me up on longer rides. Forwards aren't for me but a couple of my brothers can't ride with mids so to each their own
