Hi Kevin,
In general aim for the middle of the bat when looping. You get a better contact because of the sweet spot of the bat.
You can experiment a little with hitting it towards the top of the bat for a slower shot with a little more spin, especially against heavy backspin, but in general go for the safety of the middle.
