Some have an opening on the top with a plug, ( plug has a 1/2" square opening), in it. You remove the plug and screw it into the side opening after moving the T&P valve.

I don't know about all models of heaters, but my Rheem has a top mounted TP and my previous Rheem did also.

Functionally, it really doesn't matter as long as the outlet is near the top of the tank (hot water rises, so the further you go down from the top, it might be cooler).
