I think a lower first chop would have helped. But.. I doubt you are thinking about chopping below the first chop you made?where I would like to make a chop
i like the nebari and the conicity & nice curve of the 1rst section of the trunk. I would cut the right side of the trunk, to avoid a swelling. If there is a branch correctly emerging inside the green circle, it would be cool to build the futur trunk line with this branch imoThis tree grew well last year and I'm trying to decide what I like as a front and where I would like to make a chop. I would like some input from you guys as to what you would do. I thought about just a low chop, but there is slight movement in the tree that could allow me to make a chop further up.

A shame you did not clean up the original chop: It would have closed over more or less by now. Instead you have a big swelling there. So that would be one of the actions: Clean that up and remove the shoulder it created.
Somehow I do not see another direction than a fairly formal upright. The wide nebari and near-vertical straight first trunk session make it unrealistic for me to see something else.. Maybe consider one of the smaller branches at the previous chop as continuation of the trunkline?
