I think muzzle down is the way to go.

You shouldn't use so much oil that it leeches into the stock, but mistakes are made. You can miss something when cleaning. Ever see Kroil creep? I don't trust it.

There's really no downside I can see from going muzzle down. Muzzle up *should* be okay, but muzzle down WILL be okay, so why not?
