In this case, the left one, but normally right is the style to go with.
Its about where the lightning is coming from and since we only have daytime light, then I assume this means the "sun is high".

i think it can vary a little depending on the context, you can use both to represent maybe different elevations a little, or different slopes, i think it comes down to what looks good on the map.
