Either way, I prefer to go opposite the direction of greatest bending moment/deflection. If it bends easily more in one way than the other I choose the latter.

Couldn't find anything regarding specifically wood grown in tension vs wood grown in compression. But what I am trying to remember and visualize is the failures witnessed over the yrs. I think it's pretty safe to say compressed tension wood is stronger than tensioned compressed wood. May not be...

A lot to think about. Compressing wood is obviously stronger, bending less so. Are you bending or compressing the best or worse part of the wood in the defect. A good way to look at it is if it is notch in compromised tree

So many questions and variables. Either way I would rig to reduce chance of adding to cycles to failure

Rig opposite the side of greatest deflection.
