35 year custom home framer here. You should always turn the imperfections in towards each other to allow perfectly square edges at interior perimeter of the opening. Especially on windows. I always crown my king studs up and use straight boards for tremors so I can push the discrepancy down and toenail the crown out of the king stud as I complete the nail pattern from trimmer to king. The order of operations is correct

Here we deal with hot dry summers. So, we also look at the cups in the studs and trimmers. We put them opposing each other. 9 times out 10, it would mean the barked edge goes against the stud. If you don't, they would curl and appear to not be tight. Causing customers to be concerned and/or not looking professional. I also have them put a little tilt to the gun, in opposite directions, as they nail off. Makes it a lot harder to pull apart or come apart.

Standard screws have very little shear strength and are never to be used for any lateral framing. Structural screws can be used but are much more expensive. Screws take much longer to install than using a nail gun. Nails use ring shank, glue tip, and fluted technology that makes them comparable to screws regarding tensile strength. Nails will flex with the natural thermal expansion and contraction of the structure.
