I think it'll be very close to its peak size of july 27 for a few weeks either side, not a rapid change in size/brightness, so should be lots of opportunity to try different configurations and settings for photography or just do visual or pray for clear skies. No need to wait until the day. Mars is currently good for late night and slowly moving into evening hours in the coming months so start trying the limits of your gear now with Jupiter in early evening and fine tune and plan for what you want from Mars.
