In the case of single vCenter replicating VMs between hosts the VC and VR appliance is good to be placed on the most reliable host from on site. The reason for this is that if the VC goes down no matter where the VR appliance is placed you won't be able to do recovery because login to the VC is required. Speaking like this your recovery site should be the most reliable host and the primary site (host) need to be other hosts.

Actually there is no requirement for this because the VR appliance write the data to the datastore where the replication is pointed. If it is on VC scenario then the reliability of the system is what defines your deployment story. If it is more than one VCs scenario - then the story is clear - one VR appliance per VC, no matter which VC you are calling primary or DR.

Hope this helps
