Default Spark Plug Wire Routing SBC Chevy

For those here with a small block Chevy conversion I'm curious on how folks have their spark plug wires routed?

My SBC is setup with rams horn exhaust manifold, an HEI distributor, and current wires drop down the back/side of the engine, around & along each side, and then up from below to the plugs.
Many years back my old hot rod had tube headers and the wires routed across the top with wire looms.
With the rams horn exhaust manifold it seems to make sense that up from below makes the most sense.

For all the other Chevy rebels how do y'all have your wires routed?

Thanks, Steve

I like and use r&m specialty wire looms and made my own wires and went ove the top like shown in the pix. Looks even better if you have angle plugs.
