I fiddle with the sliders every time and it's taking a long time
rather than the sliders, switch the canvas to "mage & Wireframe" mode via the little drop down menu at the top of the canvas (looks like a frame).
working the wireframe can be a lot quicker than fiddling with the sliders.

Can this positioning be saved as a preset in FCP also somewhere?
Sure.
when you've got a size and position you like, double click the clip into the view (if it isn't there already)
with the view active, now hit CONTROL F, or go to Effects menu > Make favorited Motion
this will get saved into the favourites bin in the effects tab (Command top-row 6 will open it) with the name of the clip.
you can re-name it to what you want, and perhaps put it in a bin for motion effects, or a bin of that particular show.
you can copy it into your project file, it doesn't have to live only in the favourites bin
you can drag it onto a cup you want to re-size
OR
you can assign favourite motion effects to a keyboard command in the keyboard layout window.
your first 8 motion effects can be assigned, and they are assigned alphabetically, so you may want to number them.
you can copy them into your project, but a keyboard command will only trigger the ones in the favourites bin.
cheers,
