This might be smart-alecky, but: it depends on the shape of the bread. ;)
If the loaf is wider than it is long, it might be better to put it in on its side. It might be vertically short enough that it would be harder to fish out, or it might be horizontally too wide to fit. I usually buy French bread, Italian bread, and European-style rye; they're baked on flat surfaces and don't have that vertical loaf-pan aspect ratio.
Then there's bread machine bread, which doesn't have a 'top' or 'bottom'. It has a lid end and a kneader end, but when you're cutting sandwich-sized slices, they're symmetrical.
I remember my university psychology profressor suggesting that if you wanted to blow someone's mind, try peeling off one section only of a bannaaa peel then eat it like a watermelon in front of them.
