Default Tapered pistons...up or down?

Ive just bought some Ghea pistons (thanks Wraggy!) and after reading all the threads about them im still confused to which way around the pistons go...

I have read a thread recently that said that the taper needs to be aiming downways towards the end of the shaft....but surely that would mean that on landing a jump itll pack normally but the rebound will pop the car up quicker than with a standard piston?

Surely running the taper upwards towards the shock cap would mean that landing a jump would allow the car to absorb the jump faster but not pop up so fast on the rebound?

Any clever people fancy clearing my mind??

Thanks
