I don't have a preference, it depends on the space I'm putting it in.
If it's two cables coming in from the same side I'd put them into the
block side by side. If it's something coming in one end and going out
somewhere else I'd do it end to end, eg a neutral return passing
through a light switch, eg in the wiki:

Thanks. It's actually (unusually) a radial circuit for the computer.
I am bypassing an existing socket so only two wires to deal with and
plenty of space in the box for the terminal block. It seems to me
putting them both into the same side would guarantee a solid
connection and avoid any risk in bending.

A friend - a retired electrical engineer from a major electricity
supply company - will be checking it so my aim is to impress him !!!
