I'm currently playing with the layout on a couple of blogs, so I'm rejigging the placement of adsense.

Thanks for taking the time to do the mockup

Does that positioning give you a better click through rate?

You're welcome, above the fold is key. The thing is you need to tweak it until it works for you, and you get a decent CTR. There is no reason you shouldn't be getting 4-5% CTR.
For the single page I would something like

But again it's all about testing and testing, and then some. You could also put something at the end of the page or just before the comments start too. Either a banner or 1/2 banner.

The CTR ? I just mentioned a figure that you should be reaching, not actually discussing actual CTR. Or do you mean ad placement ?

Paul idea is good and the ad size is very promising, but i will use the left float position instead of right, as it has more focus, and make sure is below the TITLE of the article, so it has some text to be filtered on.

you can use
Code:
<!-- google adsection start -->
content
<!-- google adsection end -->
to get google to focus more on specific parts of your page.
