Yes, it's a very boring tedious argument that goes on and on, and there is not one way to do it because all lines are manufactured differently!
ALL YOU DO IS:-
Try the three diferent ways (spool up, down, upright) , each time, reel in the line a few turns, stop, pull a few yards of line off the Reel spool, grab hold of two feet of the line, push your hands together and see if the line twists.
The way that doesn't (twists less) IS THE RIGHT WAY!!!
VERY easy!
With the line I use, if I put the spool upright (through a pencil) it twists to hell and is the WRONG way!

is that your only requirement?
Do you need to cast long? Do you care what the colour is like? Abrasion resistance? Thickness for diameter? Prestretched or not?
Cm90 - most supple, most resistant to twist, heavy sinks well, great Abrasion, won't cast as far as others though and fairly thick, still very supple in 15lb. Solid green colour
Esp syncro - also very supple, resistant to twist, better for casting distance, doesn't sink as well but good Abrasion resistance. Nice light colour blueish tint.
Pb control - supple but develops slight more twist than above but still better than others. Sinks well, thin diameter, fairly gd abrasion. Nice light blue tint colour.

I always take the line off in the same direction as it goes on to the reel.
And soak it for a couple hours.

Another CM90 vote here. I use the Daiwa spool loader and not had any twist so far. Worth £15 investment

CM90 here too - third season now and absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Easily the best mono I have ever used.
Terminate in a Palomar and it is bulletproof.
I use Shimano X-Aeros and it goes on label up(I think - it's been a while).
