This is one of those things I learned years ago but I must have a

So you're cutting a groove? If both sides of the bit
are cutting, it doesn't really matter which way. If
only cutting on one side, you want to be moving against
the rotation of the bit, so you'll be going opposite
directions depending on whether it's an outside cut
or an inside cut.

It really does make a difference when cutting both sides. The same
rules apply as when cutting one side as the cutting action of the bit
will tend to keep the router against the guide.
