RE: rope cocker
If you've always done what you've always done and are happy with it, what difference does it make what others do?
I turn my hooks facing out, because I (think) it tends to pull the string back closer to the rail, and prevents hook-jump. But that's just me doing what I've always done.

RE: rope cocker
I cocked some Hortons w/ rope cocker that needed the hooks upside down so they cleared the safety. I've seen some Parker models w/ hooks the same to avoid them 'rolling over' the rail, seem to recall reading they fixed that problem.
If you use the trick of shortening your rope cocker so you have to pull the string back some to get the 2nd hook on, which makes cocking a tad easier and serves to keep the rc on the bow, it shouldn't matter. If you don't, then you have gravity to tend w/ and they may fall off the string.
