GFP tags in yeast

I am thinking about tagging some yeast proteins with GFP or GFP variants
for localization.  I'm trying to decide on the best strategy to use for
this.  My main questions are:

- Integrate tag into genome or express fusion on plasmid vector?  So far
my integrated tags are invisible so I am leaning toward using plasmids.

- N-terminal or C-terminal fusions?  Will an N-terminal fusion screw up
localization signals? 

- Inducible or constitutive promoter on the vector?

Thanks!
