So the Summon takes effect at the beginning of your next turn. My question is, do you choose the location of the summon when you start casting, or do you choose when the spell completes?
Aka, if you want to summon something next to a creature, and they move during the 1 round casting time, can you choose to summon the creature next to them anyway?

My understanding is that all effects are resolved at the end of the casting time. So you basically you cast summon monster I. Then, right before your turn, you decide what to summon and where it appears.
See under the magic section, Casting Time:
"You make all pertinent decisions about a spell (range, target, area, effect, version, and so forth) when the spell comes into effect."

Huh, that's a good argument in favor of the beneficial interpretation. Thanks.
It's no argument. That's the rule. It is clearly stated.

So it is.
