Where should a runway for a spaceplane be located?

If a spaceplane like the Rockwell X-30 existed and was flying to a location in geostationary orbit, would it be substantially more efficient to take off from a runaway at the equator, or would it not make that much of a difference?

This question is not about craft designed and powered solely by rockets for an airless environment, it is about spaceplanes and functioning as an aircraft up to the Karman Line.
