It dosent really matter, as both are PCIe 3.0 running in X16 mode.
I dont think Ive ever seen anyone who likes the card better in the second slot however...

some mb it does matter if you want full speed from your gpu. it depends on how the vendor wires the slots from the cpu and pci bridge. most mb with three video card slots the first slot is wires at 16x for one and then the next slot and first slot are wired to run 8x with two gpu. most time the last slot wired for 4x fixed. you can see the speed in the mb guild.
The Pro runs dual x16 mode if im not mistaken, Top lane is 3.0x16 mode, second is 2.0x16 with the third being 2.0x4, sharing bandwidth with the 2.0x1 slot.
