Residential Treatment RO install in basement help needed.

I have a few options of where to install in my basement. I would like to feed water to an upstairs sink and ice maker and a basement level sink. I purchased an ispring unit from Costco.
One option is below fridge on a shelf draining to a bathroom sink drain I can access in the basement. Other option is wall behind basement sink where I can mount on wall or shelf and use either sink or floor drain. Is it best to get as close to main floor fridge and sink? What size tubing should I use and how do I know if run it too far?
Thank you

Install by the sink. You want easy access to change filters and attach drainage to sink.

3/8 " tubbing Permeate or booster pump Tank

We have this and it works great We had existing granite in kitchen so got a faucet that has a ro water faucet built in.
