Which would you say is a better elbow placement not only for bat speed, but all around? Elbow tucked in, or elbow out?

Which elbow?
Stance: matters not
Toe touch: out, or even with the shoulders, like 99% of current MLB hitters.

Back elbow, should try to create connection with back hip to contact. This helps maintain balance, and increases the lower body, getting involved with the swing.
I think top hand should create connection with back hip to contact...

The top hand is literally, connected to the back elbow. Not really sure of your point? Your not implying, to drop, or hitch your hands to the hip, are you? If you use the back elbow in unison with the back hip, then the top hand should be fairly well synched during the swing.
