I can stongly recommend the G-Force mount (which allows the GPS to be in or near your normal instrument scan area); or, since you own your aircraft, a panel docking station for the Garmin GPS (which may or may not put it in or near your normal instrument scan).
As a pilot who rents aircraft, I have a G-Force mount (GF-1) which I use with a Garmin 396 and mount the 396 on the left side of the windscreen to position the 396 at the left upper of the instrument panel, so it is easily in/near my normal instrument panel scan.
I place the 396 hocky puck XM antenna at the farthest forward front edge of the windshield and use the 396 stick antenna (do not use a remote GPS antenna). I have never had any problem with GPS or XM Weather reception. I have never had the G-Force mount come loose or fall off the windshield (even with turbulence).
