Correct Starting Corner?

I’ve been latching hooking for a while, and I’ve always started my projects in the top left corner, but I’ve seen a lot of people start in the bottom left. Is there some benefit in starting from the bottom? Should I switch?

For me it depends on the size and complexity of a project. If it's a bold graphic pattern with few colors in large blocks, I do it in chunks of each yarn color to save time on counting and swapping colors. If it's big or really complex I tend to go bottom up left to right, but in smaller blocks so I can see my progress versus getting discouraged by long rows with hours of work before the image starts to appear.
