I think if you are asking this question, then you should take the more conservative advice and play less in UTG, UTG+1, and MP positions.

Yes these are better positions than the blinds after the flop but you have to get to the flop in the first place.  by playing pre-flop in early position you leave yourself open to getting raised preflop and thus not getting a chance to see the flop.  Once you do see the flop chances are you will not have good position as often as you would if you had better starting position.

Could you play more hands in early position and treat the position better than the blinds?  Yes, but I think this would require a lot of attention and work on balancing your hand ranges, playing against villains who recognize this, bet sizing, and having superior post flop skills.  For me I don't have any of these and if you are asking this question I would assume neither do you.  (please dont take this the wrong way I am not trying to be snarky just honest :) )

For me I have found that playing when you have position pre and post flop is really the best way to go.  This means playing in Btn, Co, and Hj seats most often. If you are not sure if you will have position then generally play more tight and aggressive.

Perhaps try once you feel comfortable playing in HJ and you have a good range try opening up your range in MP+1 a little.... then after a few hundred thousand hands if you feel good keep moving down towards UTG.
