Maybe neither. It might be the logical trunkline. But if so, the "front" is facing the wall at about 10 o'clock.
Regards, Matt (who just made the embarassing move of glancing at a digital clock to confirm his compass point)

Good Area to Dig Potatoes

Tal--Think about taking off the branch you don't have circled and layering the trunk just below the bend. Then develop some taper using the circled branch as the new trunk. That's the trouble with bougies. They're essentially vines and you really have to bully them to get any girth and taper.
