Assuming you're talking about keeping the length of the link constant and moving the whole thing in and out on the car Carl, the total amount of camber change remains the same. It's the way the camber changes through the suspention travel thats different. Link closer to the centre gives more initial camber change, link closer to the outside gives more final camber change
Technically the camber links change grip levels, but in my experience with the way we generate grip on our tracks (spikes digging in rather than the compound working with the surface like the Americans) the camber links have much more control over body-roll and how the car feels.
Generally I find the angle of the links changes how reactive that end of the car is, eg more angle on the front toplinks gives more initial turn-in. The length of the link feels to me to have more effect on bodyroll when the suspention is loaded up mid corner.
