I have seen this topic before, but can't seem to find it. My question is this: should you position the holes of your manifold up or down? I have read on various sights, and some say up, and some say down. Which is better?

You want them facing down. If you put the holes facing up your syphon will break at that point (leaving a lot of liquor in the tun) and you run a big risk of the weight of the grain plugging up the holes.

Batch for now, maybe attempt fly sparging after I get a little more AG brewing under my belt.
I agree. This make sense to me. Especially if you have a big cooler you will waste a lot of wort.

down seems to make more sense, but you can dry fit the pipes, twist them and experiment with both configurations

I've never read a good reason for facing them up
