For looks, screw head on top, for ease of mounting, nut on top but reels Ithaca is right about hex screws.

Have you seen the oversized screws sold by Soundsmith? I want some!

Your SME seems to have a fixed headshell. In lieu of a detachable shell, I prefer to remove the arm for cartridge mounting. With a Grace 707 or other captive bearing arm, I will invert the entire arm, maybe not such a good idea with knife edge bearing arms.

Of course it's easier with a removable she'll or wand.
