Vertical so the dust falls through the slot rather than collecting.

OCD. I was taught vertical.
It really doesn't matter, but... the OCD.

My builder taught me vertical and asked me to go back and realign the screws in my own house, that I hadn’t lined up, while building my house.

I replace mine with the covers that hide the screws.
But vertical otherwise. |

We are talking about the slot in the screw heads? Wherever they end up when the screw is tightened to the correct torque.

It Depends…
Vertical if on a tall wall for symmetry. Horizontal on a short wall or counter wall..also for symmetry. Screw alignment must flow… You guys who think that one size fits all are unimaginative, have no sense of space and should not be trusted with a screwdriver.. |

Always vertical in my own home and for customers. It looks cleaner and buttoned up. It's one of those things that isn't that big of deal but it looks cleaner and is one less thing to draw attention to.
