Question Question about Stall Turn, Quarter Roll Up and Down

Even though I only fly Sportsman (and can barely fly it at that), I like to when I'm flying just for run try the intermediate maneuver Stall Turn, Quarter Roll Up and Down.

I have one question about it that I can't glean from the description document -- http://nsrca.us/images/stories/curre...scriptions.pdf

Does it make any difference which way you do the stall turn? Is it pilots choice? The doc just say to do a 180 stall turn the downward leg. Can I stall turn left or right, back toward the direction I came from before the upward leg or in the other direction, based on what I feel is easier / will look better?
