I would say that it has a lot to do with the design of the aircraft, CG locations, wing stability etc.

But as I learned in my ATPL studies the most important factor for placing the engines on the back of the fuselage instead of the wings would be that you got rid of the pitch up moment during acceleration in the air... however if this is true or not I don't know...

I've never flown an aircraft with fuselage mounted engines so I've never felt the difference...

Kind Regards
Tim
