It's fine to mount it 'upside down', as long as the main breaker operates horizontally, which most all do now (sorry Siemens, you're out).
 
I think it's fine to put the main at the bottom as long as it's bottom fed. It looks unprofessional when it's bottom fed and yet they bring feeder through can up to top. They take up space, exceed bending radius at the top to turn back down, and looks like a amature did it. IMO

..........What is funny is when the labels are left upside down because they were put on the panel before installation.

Aren't the labels already installed at the factory? And either printed both ways or sideways so they can be read in either installation?
 
There are only a few panels that don't work well upside down. Most will work. no issue as long as the handles are not upside down.

Well in all of the original panels the wires went to the top from a bottom inlet but the guys doing this left all the wire and hooked them up with 2 feet of excess looped to bottom feed them.
