Hello, g! This is going to be a really boring reply: If you have a decent music store near you, take your fiddle and see if they will let you try a bunch of different chin rests. Each person has his/her own way of holding the instrument is slightly differently - or there wouldn't be so many different chinrests available!
(I tried a friend's violin with a center-mounted chin rest and loved it, and so bought myself a center mounted rest for my viola, and it didn't work for me at all. Such a mount would seem to allow you to look down along the instrument's center length, which is good to do, but it doesn't always work.)
Good luck!
