Always top to bottom for me....i hate to see a really nice bike with shit insulation tape at the top. I always put the start of the tape facing forward and tucked just under the bar...once round then pull across to start your way round the bar. If you pull the tape nice and tight as you go it never fucks up the edges...and being somebody who constantly changes components and setups etc i've wrapped a lot of bars..:)
And something people always seem to forget is that whether you start at the top OR the bottom, you will ALWAYS have one section of the bar where the tape edge is facing against your hand.
Top to bottom is far neater IMO
also....cheap vinyl tape always has, and always will be my favourite kind too :)
