Both ways put the least stress on the valve stem area of the tube.
Tubeless - mount starting opposite valve stem - tubeless valve stems take up space in the rim channel and increase the overall diameter needed to mount the tire.
removing tire - start at the valve stem - you won't agitate the tube/rim hole area like you would with a tubed tire. And again, a tubeless valve stem takes up space in the channel.
Have fun trying to mount a motorcycle tire that way, especially narrow, tubed dirt bike fronts. There just isn't enough room for a tube's valve stem and tire bead to coexist in the same place when working away from the valve to mount.
Always install toward the valve. Always remove away from the valve. Tubed or tubeless.
