Neither is always the rule. The hole determines where the "best miss" is. For the par 3s at my course, #6 it is right, both short and long are bad, #9 is long, short is deep bunkers, #14 slightly right or slightly long, short or left is water, right or long is OB, 16 short is only good miss, anywhere else is probably bogie at best.
