If you are the main act in a lineup, or proclaimed "headliner", play the headliner slot which is the final act (or among the final acts at events like festivals).
I've played several events recently where the "headliner" asked us if we could headline last minute when we were promoted as the supporting act.
A headlining band asking a supporting band if they themselves can play in the middle of the lineup because "it's the best spot" tells me you are not a headliner.. nor is it necessarily true that the middle of the lineup is the best spot. If you're a "headliner" then it doesn't matter when you play.

But if we play last, everyone will have left already....
