Fat cap down. Ain't no way it "runs through the meat" and it acts as an insulator - not to mention you cut if off and throw it away so why bother to season it!
I like the "meat side" to be pretty much untouched during the cook so my bark stays intact.
However, it's not "wrong" to cook fat up. I just prefer the results I get with the fat side down.
