I'm not sure I buy the cotter direction reasoning, at least its importance, but when assembling cranks on roadsters, I have always but them in with the threaded side "leading," as this leads to fewer problems with pants cuffs. That little bit of thread and the corners of the nut can easily snag trousers.
