For the SAFE, the one thing to consider is "does this company have potential to scale?" and "is this the right founder to drive that scale?" I'm assuming the founder is trying to scale this business to multiple millions. You're looking for the valuation of the business to grow to be able to get a return on capital.
If the founder is looking to do more of a "main street business" (e.g. anything retail, local, etc.), then there is no common correct investor structure. You'd be looking to get cash flow or divdends from this investment. And since it's so early, you'd look to determine what is potential business size and how much of the business would you need to own to make the deal worth it.
