In this picture from RPG the orientation is far from random :



Most pictures I've seen have the panels all with the same orientation.
A couple more :

This depth saving is the major advantage to using the substitution. A smaller advantage is that it becomes easy to see the orientation of the panel when multiples are used in an array. A final advantage, and one that is not much use to us DIY'ers, is that the single zero-depth well is the perfect spot to place your manufacturer's logo..
I find that the zero depth well looks kind of odd. It sticks out too much.
But it does make it easy to see the orientation of the panel.
