Obviously better. It's a pain in the ass, if it wasn't better, no one would do it.

You hang the bulb vertical not at the top, but kind of by the middle of the plant. This way you don't get popcorn buds. the light will get all the way to the under growth it will be hot so you may need AC. Horizontal growing with a hood can be good because heat can be exausted out but i does not hit the under growth.

Just to clarify here, a bulb makes the same heat regardless of its orientation. Many people (myself included) find it easier to deal with the heat in a vertical setup, actually. The heat simply rises up from a bare bulb, whereas in a reflector the heat gets trapped. This means your plants can be closer to a vertical bulb than one in a reflector. Cooltubes can be used vertically, too.

Nicely said. I only want to second what you said - the fact that the heat is the same, but the effects seem to be that the bulb is cooler because the plants can be closer without having heat be an issue... I assume that is where the confusion comes from - that vertical bulbs are cooler.
