Horizontal. Home position with mine is pointing north, at the "horizon", though I think some use south. However, I rarely park it now - only when leaving it set up to turn on again later. Usually have to put it away, so no point in parking it; just turn it off, and pack it up.

And I had similar experience of it misbehaving badly and looking underground. It only happened after I had tried EQ mode, just experimenting. Anyway, after returning to AltAz mode and turning on again and "successfully" completing a 2 or 3 star alignment, at first "go to" it would go anywhere but where I knew it should. Finally had to do some sort of re-set (just can't remember exactly how) and then it started behaving correctly again.
