I've come to realize I'm a fan of tip down, and a couple reasons for that...
1) As mentioned before, my knife and my hand don't fit all that great when trying to get both in my pocket at once. I've found that I shut the knife however I please, then holding the pivot between my thumb and index, let gravity drop the tip and handle down. This allows for easy insertion into whatever material my pants are that day.
2)To draw my knife, I just do the reverse process holding the knife around the pivot then rotating my hand around.
3) My first knife I was given was a Buck Nobleman. This knife is tip down only. Simply using it made me accustomed to TD and it's like second nature that way. TU just feels unnatural.
Just my two cents.
