The only thing I can see about the two options given is that mounting the horns horizontally lets the full sound go in the direction the horn is pointing. That is Forward. (Or to the rear. Although I don't know why you would want to mount it that way.)
Mounting it vertically, the sound is being pointed either up or down depending on how you mount the horn.
My own personal choice is to mount the horn(s) pointing forward. That is the most likely direction of seeing trouble brewing and wanting to alert those ahead. And that is the direction most of the sound would travel mounted horizontally with the horn facing forward.
I also expect you to get a lot of blast when you sound them as you will be forward of the horns. You will also get reflection off the fairing. But pointing them down to reduce that will also reduce the amount of sound going forward.
