Thank you for your reply Averell!

What about:

What are your thoughts on this matter?

In this situation it sounds much better than "what are your thoughts in this matter?".

How can I tell the difference of which to use?

I prefer using:

What are your thoughts on this matter.

It sounds good and excellently fit the sentence.
