That advantage that I found for the using the top line as someone else suggested on here first is that it's a lot easier to connect a piece of trans line to it and drain the fluid to whereever you wanted. There is also the advantage of flushing the cooler, which you can't do otherwise. But that's a pretty minor advantage. Too, if you DON'T have a cooler standard, you can just plug the drain line into the outlet of the cooler built into the radiator instead and put the other end in your container.

Kind of six of one, half dozen of another, but I think it's much more convenient to use the upper fitting as you'll only need an extra length of trans line to drain it while not making any mess.
