Full sun, do not plant where standing water exists 24 hrs after a hard rain. In other woods they dont like wet feet.

You also don't want to plant them in a depression, colder air settles and could cause problems.
At least 20 feet apart. Prune them to keep an open basket to allow sunlight into the tree to ripen fruit.
There is plenty of information on the web for care of peach trees. Most of it from state universities extension services.
