The NEC does not specify. Outdoor outlets are required to be GFCI protected so, in theory, if all works properly, it shouldn't matter.
But I wouldn't place the outlet below the faucet under any circumstances.
And I wouldn't place it in close proximity, say, less than 2 feet apart. But this all depends on how convenient it is and what appearance you are looking for.
