I prefer the up and down method but that's probably more out of force of habit than anything. Nowt wrong with a diagram near on on the CU, RCF1 RFC2

with a 50 way CU, all RCBOs. 2nd mortgage.
And a £1250 EICR for the poor homeowner
And a bloody massive christmas tree.5 grand to build an extension on the house to house the new CU.
It's one of those things where I don't really have a preference as there's no perfect way whatever you do. The house I was in today started out as a single ring for the whole house. Then an extension was built for kitchen and lounge which had it's own ring. Then the kitchen was changed and needed to be RCD protected so the board was changed. So now there is a ring for the kitchen, a ring for the rear of the living room, another ring for the rest of the house and the hall sockets are on a separate radial. So unless you make sure whatever you're working on is isolated and use labelling, instict, common sense or 'the force' as a guide only you're asking for trouble IMHO.
BTW, the lighting circuits are even more complicated and it's only a three bed semi.
I bet labelling that CU was fun
