We also put a solar tube in the guest bathroom. I highly recommend this location. Now we don't even need to turn on the light there during the day.

If they offer you a good price for installing three, another spot could be in the master closet.

As for roof penetration - they are well installed. We never had any problems with leakage.
Yes, but when the roof is replaced (common here) hopefully the new roofer reseals them correctly. The more penetrations during a hurricane the more possibilities.
