Piston ring gap placement

So I'm putting together my A15 & am trying to figure out the ring gap placement. the instructions on the ring box say to not align the gap with the wrist pin or the thrust side of the piston and for the oil rings it says to place the top & bottom cap rings @ 45 degree's to the oil ring. I assume this means place the gaps on the upstroke side of the piston but I'm curious how you experienced A series builders align your gaps.

I'd think it'd make sense to place them on opposite sides but hey, I haven't completely assembled a motor in 20 years so what do i know!

any helps appreciated!
Thanks ,Evan
