Timing Marks on 1984 GL1200

I am working on a friend's 1984 GL1200 and was wondering; therec are two marks on the cam gears. One is a small square dot and about 2 teeth away is a line on each gear. I know that the bike will run as much as two teeth off but more than that and the piston will hit a valve. But I was wondering which marks are the optimum ones to use to time to T1?

The small dot...NOT the line. The word "UP" should be at 12 o'clock (or thereabouts).

Thanks Mark! That is what I used but wanted to make sure! Now I can set the tension and button this baby up!
