Fruiting chamber location

Hey, all.
I'm planning to start cultivating soon and I'm deciding where to put the fruiting chamber. It seems I have four choices to keep it away from direct sunlight and safe from my cats (who would surely disturb it if left unattended with it).
Option A: Inside my closet. Pros: * The SGFC would stay nice and safe in there, at a stable temperature. * I can install an LED light if necessary.
Cons: * Not much air circulation. * Humidity would probably be a problem for other things in the closet.
Option B: In my bedroom. Pros: * Good air circulation. * Normal indirect sunlight.
Cons: * Gotta keep the door shut whenever I'm away. * Rather dirtier than the closet (I have a wooden floor, but it's still dirty). * There's a big box in the middle of the room 24/7.
Option C: Option A at night, option B during the day. Pros: * Good air circulation half of the day. * Normal indirect sunlight.
Cons: * Gotta move the box twice every day.
Option D: In or on the bathtub. Pros: * Good air circulation. * Indirect sunlight (less than in my bedroom). * No need to worry about dripping. * Naturally humid environment after showering.
Cons: * Environment temperature is more variable (no AC). * Gotta move it whenever I shower (can it stay in the bathroom?). * ?
Thoughts?
Thanks for any responses.

I'm voting option A. The humidity the tub puts off shouldn't be enough to affect anything else in the closet (assuming you're not using a humidifier. if you are, totally different conversation), and the low air circulation isn't an issue. If you were feeling froggy, you could open+wave the door to the closet 1x/2x a day, but i wouldn't think it's necessary. The light+timer IS necessary. I agree with JCM, you're overthinking it, which isn't a bad thing!

A or B. Moving it around can vary the conditions too much and cause things to abort.

Alright, thanks, guys! 
Yes, I may be overthinking it; considering all possibilities is a professional risk for computer programmers.
One last question: Do I need a timer for the light, or is it enough to turn it on and off every 12 hours? Or do I need a different sort of schedule, like every 8 hours?
Thanks again.

I vote for plan A - it doesn't need a lot of circulation and there isn't so much humidity that it will hurt other things in there
Definitely not option D though because you don't shit where you eat my friend
and yes, get a timer

On/off for ~12 hours a day is fine. It doesn't have to be perfect. I think most would say a timer is overkill.

If you never leave the house, have the same sleep schedule and no one ever comes over when it's time to turn the light on or off, then I guess you don't need it but since they cost only a few bucks, I don't think you can call it overkill..WTF?

When you say "most would say a timer is overkill" you are stating your opinion plus saying that most would agree with you which I find unlikely

Rough 12/12 is good enough. A timer can make it easier but just turning them on and off on a rough 12 hour schedule is fine.

Alright, I'll definitely consider a timer. When I wrote my previous post I imagined they would be harder to get, but actually I can find them quite easily.
Once again, thanks guys.

I was thinking of buying a timer but meh... it's not really that big of a deal. I wake up in the morning.. go to work.. get home and eat. Right before I head to the gym I just shut the light off at that point. About 11 hours or so. Never seemed to be an issue.
But, they're fairly cheap. Also, I would go with option A - that's my final answer.
