Default machine sewed bindings--front or back?

I want to ask those who machine sew bindings: Do you prefer first sewing the binding on the back or front? I tried both. I don't really like the line of stitches in the binding on the front, but my corners are perfectly mitered on the side I sew down first, so in this case the super nice corners are on the back. I don't really like the line of stitches on the front if machine sewed on the back--but I'll have to learn to not mind to save time. I surely would rather be making tops! :-)

Also--corners look better if I pivot at corners, but I like them secured to the point, so I will hand stitch those. No big deal.

Which way do you do it--and why?
