Tips always up
I've always been a tips down guy but have been contemplating tips up. Others chiming in with their thoughts would be great
I wipe the tip well and go tip down. I feel that the collar is more apt to wear going tip up and it only takes a couple seconds to remove the chalk.
Mostly personal preference . Tips up means joint down on butt. Butt up is more
protection for joint pin. In my day ( I have a 73 JOSS ivory joint 3/8 10 pin in a
Fellini case ), most players kept the joint up/tips down to protect the ivory
joint and the 3/8 10 pin.

I have a 1 x 2 ... tips up/butt down.
That's the way I kept my cues in those cases...tips down, joint up. In the end, it's like you said...personal preference!

In my Fellini, I keep the tips up and the butt joint down.
I do the same with my other cases.

Tips up, joint down, J/P's on all !!!
Chicago RJ was sending out Tip Clipz a few months ago to beta testers for free, basically its a simple cover you place over your tip to keep the inside of the case clean, they go on firm with no no play and no chance of falling off and does not scratch the ferrule.
If you're worried about keeping the bottom of your case clean then i highly recommend looking into this item.

I saw those. They were already available under another name. Essentially the same product.
The only reservation I had was I imagined removing it and pulling my tip off. Probably silly.
I thought it was a great idea. I hate chalk dust inside my cases, even the little that gets there if I am very careful.

Worry? Wow. Keep working on that.
Personally I don't worry about such things as it interferes with performance.
Sometimes professional instruction can help with feelings like that.
Yeah...crazy....

Joint protectors facing up
You'll get ust to pulling them on and off the tip really fast, right now to me its just like unscrewing my joint caps just a force of habit meow.
In the old days it was always tips down, joint up. This was before joint protectors were common and many guys would put a little dot or some other kind of marking inside the shaft collar to identify which shaft was which.
