for location, I'm going to go out on a limb and suggestion the bottom, but I'm no drain hole expert or anything.
I bought these for the same price about a year ago and they look nice and have held up well in the sun so far. Good deal.
More flexible use cases without holes, perhaps you don't want one to use as a bird bath, a small fountain, perhaps a fancy ice bucket for cold drinks, a dry ice cauldron for Halloween, or maybe you want a side hole for self watering reserve of water. DIY holes is really not unusual for larger planters.

Any suggestions for the size and location of the drilled hole(s)?
The goal is to not allow water to stagnate at the bottom. If you can control the water, then no holes will be necessary. If you can find a pot that fits inside this, then you can elevate the plant from the base, and put holes an inch from the bottom so you'll retain some water. If you have no control over water, then put the holes at the very bottom.

Agree, but to be clear, these are a pretty lightweight and flexible injection molded plastic, thinner than a 5gal bucket, not a typical heavy duty resin like you might expect for a permanent planter, it seems like a similar, but thicker plastic, to the disposable black nursery planters,
I think the "resin" description is misleading and it seems like HDPE and is a thermoplastic. Meaning it becomes pliable or moldable when heated and holds the new shape when cooled.
Comes as two pieces that have tabs zip tied together that easily break off or can be cut with scissors, then you snap the two pieces together with a pressure fit.

so strange that they don't come with the drain holes already punched

Do these have drainage holes?

No holes but soft plastic, easy to drill or just melt a hole, the label even indicates " Drill a hole for drainage"
