Default Hanging drywall: up/down or across

a so called 'pro' would never hang the bottom first.

Generally, that's practice. Especially if you're working with a lift
or a partner.

But hanging an eight foot piece alone, many pros place the bottom
piece first and use it to rest the top piece into place. If there is
a slight gap, it can always be flat taped.
