I'm still fairly new at this but my logic is that the blade tends to drift to the right of the cut so I cut in whichever direction puts the waste wood on that side.
If I'm cutting out the
inside
of a piece then I cut
counter-clockwise
so if the blade drifts it should go into the scrap.
If I'm cutting around the
outside
then I cut
clockwise
so any drift should go out away from the project.
The fun part is when you're cutting
between
pieces and can't afford drift in either direction. Then I just go whichever way seems convenient.
