What is the "right" way to orient upright brackets?

Assembling my front suspension uprights. The newer design steel angle brackets, that effectively are the ball joints (combined with the helm joint and 1/2 bolt), can be oriented many ways. My first thought was to place them with the vertical (shorter) side outside, with the holes facing in. I now see pictures of some others having different orientations on the top and bottom. Is there an official way to do this? Or is everyone just winging it?

Admittedly, anyway will probably work as the helm joints have so much adjustment. What we are talking about is camber adjustment, but I thing other alignment angles such as scrub rate come into play.
