I think the 5 different options of where to put a B-buff inside the pedal are very different, and really depend upon what you want the pedal to do. For example, even if you want the B-buff to be "on all the time independent of the tone press," you'll still need to decide if you want the B-buff to be before or after the TP's circuit inside the pedal. Mental note: Keep in mind that nearly ALL pedals, including the Tone Press, will buffer your signal on the output, which is why most people who buy the B-buff as a "buffer" simply put it in the bypass (myself included).
Your original question is a good one for people on this forum to chime in their thoughts. Even better though, in your current case, would be for you to call the Barber shop and be ready to answer the question, "What do you want your pedal to do when it's (1) on, and also (2) when it's off." If you can answer that 2-part question, they'll be able to tell you exactly where the B-buff needs to be.
