Transistor can orientation

How do you normal do yours?

I'm playing around at the moment with positioning the can flat or possibly flat with some foam and then secured.
This board is the size of a short 1590A board, looking at double sided with reverse side flooded ground plane. The pots will be off board and connected via wires.
It would be far easier if the transistors were stood upright as laying flat.

I just wanted to see a rough size for that style of pedal.. these cans are about 6mm wide, the resistors are 1204 sized. I may end up crossing the legs (insulated) to make it easier on the board layout..
