Following that rule. It can be easier to pick ccw because after setting the angles you won't need to pay attention to them again.

That said I have one that I can only pick ccw, and it has nothing specifically to do with the fact that it is a Medeco. It has a deep shallow combination in the back and I haven't been able to get it clockwise because of the binding order.

Or just because i dropped the pin out of set position it wont affect the rotation setting??

If you are picking counterclockwise, then it probably won't lose it's rotational setting. There are no guarantees that is won't rotate on you, it's just less likely to to it if you are going ccw than if you are going clockwise.
