For sectionals and paper maps, it's north up but it's because of the labels.
When I use an electronic chart (or a nav system in a car), I use heading up.

I have been advised that some people when using a sectional always hold it
with North up even when they are flying South rather than orienting it
along their flight path. This is an option on moving map GPS systems.

Do you a) keep North up or b) orient the map in the direction in which you
are flying?
