Is the general consensus to mount it high enough that the lines off the cam cover aren't running a downward slope?
I mounted my overflow to the fuse box bracket so I was leaning towards the side of the frame rail, however, I'm concerned that running my lines down hill will guarantee gravity is going to fill the breather tank in no time.

Well I’m not sure if the “Bio” thing is the cause. All the local E85 cars here in Finland suffers the same "too much water in the catch can" -problem.
Google tells that this is common thing with E85:
one main byproduct of combustion is water. Hydrocarbons/alcohol burning in oxygen make carbon dioxide and water, or as the chemists would say:
HC + O2 -> CO2 + H2O
If you work through the equations, you actually make about a gallon of water per gallon of fuel burned. That always comes out as steam / vapor, though on a cold day or at start-up, you may see it dribbling from the tailpipe.
