   Main reason would be so i could more easily finish the waist high seam all the way around the room rather than a n 8 foot verticle seam every four feet. There are other reasons that have been discussed here before, sometimes the search works if you want to try it.

   Find the thread, "How to carry drywall" or some similar title

   .

   12' sheets hung horizontal. Do the math, less seams to finish

   Horizontal mostly because the stuff is a little stiffer in that direction. It's always nice to avoid as many seams as possible.

   But if what you want to know is "is it vital to do it one way vs. the other" the answer (most of the time) is no. It can be done either way.

   horizontal unless you frame 12oc and have very straight (or metal) studs IMO
