As long as you're playing the right chord, in the right place, at the right time no-one gives a flying fuck where the chord is played.

opens & opens nice, & still mix well volume wise with bars below 5th fret.
bars above 5th fret mix better (volume-volume-wise) with other bars, but then you can use the opens for effect, to contrast & highlight important changes.
bar chords give you a bit more control over muting. open strings on open chords can't really be muted. opens have more ring & chime about them. especially when playing clean.
if you want to mix but have volume issues, consider a compressor. they all do the same basic thing (joyo does a decent one sub£30). they will compress your dynamics in a non intrusive way.
& drive, distortion & fuzz even everything out even more.
enjoy your jam.

Sorry, I'll try not to say "chord" again.

Play for the song, otherwise you are thinking about it backwards.

Or if one is playing all barres (Ala Hey Joe) then the second can play partial barre chords. If/when I play Hey Joe I quite often play the chords as
xx555x xx543x xx777x xx765x xx999x to give a different texture to the song.

Insert Mike's smug face...........
It's a second guitar part not the main, so open to interpretation.
Another I use is playing 3rds as a second guitar part.
