I personally prefer head down for a number of reasons. 1 - easier to bait the jig, 2 - It's weighted better with the head down, 3 - It just looks right!!
I think the main factor is to use a jig with appropriate sized hooks. Many of the jigs have such small hooks that they get burried by the bait.
These are the jigs I recommend.
