I'm running 5.25" mid drivers, they'll be going in some kick panel pods which I'll fibreglass up from the original kick panel covers.

If you're running 6" or larger speakers it'd have to be the door. You can either;

If your door trim is more important to you than sound, get some prefab pods for mounting the speaker. These can secure through the door trim with only a few screws, which will leave few marks.

If you want better midbass response, sound deaden and seal the door (ask for more details if this is you) and cut through the door card to vent into the enclosure you've created (inside the door cavity). Mid drivers will generally want good sized enclosures, up to 20L of enclosure even (ie. a door cavity).

In both the above situations, imaging will be far improved over flush mount setups as the speakers are 'staged' more effectively to the listening position.

If you want to go cheap and easy (and nasty in my opinion) then just put them flush into the doors (with spacers if need be). The best place to do this for basket/magnet clearance is towards the middle of the door (back towards the seat when door is closed) as there is a factory opening in the door skin there. This is terrible for imaging though.
