Both have their place for different things.
I teach chin ups to the front because they fit in my system that way.

I've tried a couple of times, of pull-downs behind the neck while sitting back-to-front. I found they seem to particularly work the very top of my back. I wouldn't mind incorporating a set into by routine, but can someone clarify the difference between the two. At my gym the onus is to the front to prevent shoulder impingment - but for a single set I don't think it would have a negative effect, right?

I asked this before, and everyone gave good reasons to do lat pulls to the front and to the rear so i decided to do four sets rather than 3 sets, i do one set to the front, one to the rear and so on and to be honest it does seem to work well and you are doing both front and rear lat pulls so why choose, give it a go

Personally I never do any pulling or pushing exercises behind the neck, I find it puts waay to much pressure on my rotator cuffs.
