It depends.

Wide boards, improperly restrained or finished are more likely to cup or
split. Note, that as far as splitting goes, glueups improperly restrained
become wide boards.

Improperly restrained flat-sawn wide boards finished only on one side are
more likely to cup than quartersawn or random-grained glueups. Glueups
finished on one side only will still cup. In damp enough circumstances,
so
will plywood.

Don't even start on the reverse the smile versus consistent smile
controversy.

If your boards are seated in dados and the grain runs the same direction
as
the sides they're seated in, it probably doesn't make a bit of difference.
