Default cabinet hinges- does direction matter?

I took the hinges for the table extensions out when I stripped the cabinet and decided to tighten the holes with toothpicks and re-drill for the screws. While it's on my mind to be very careful NOT to drill all the way through the planks I am getting things out for that now.

The hinges appear to be symmetrical only with two fingers on one side of the center pin and one on the other. Does it matter which way I put them on? Is it better to have them all face the same direction or is there added strength to mixing them up? (2-1-2)(1-2-1)?
