Plop is a great simulation tool.

If allowing for refocus, 6 points are generally better than 9. Just arrange them equidistant at the 58% radius zone.

I can recommend 6 points. Provided the back is flat you can also use a continuous ring support instead of 6 points ( ie Silastic or Velcro ) . My 14" F5 X 1.5"thick is attached by a continuos ring of Velcro and holds figure and collimation excellently, and no clips to cause diffraction effects.
