cleanouts

We don't usually install them there, unless there is a horizontal pipe below the floor. A vertical pipe seldom stops up, so the cleanouts are just needed on the lower lever before the pipes turn horizontal.

horizontal run

There will be about 10 feet of horizontal run on a 3 inch line> what would be the best place to put a cleanout and how. in a wall with an access cover?

Yes. A convenient wall, preferrably an exterior one (so any maintenance mess stays outside), with a cover would work nicely.
