Vertical, almost always.
If you don't flare the elbow out until fairly late in the movement, you have the option to turn it over towards the end.
Getting the elbow high up early for maybe a more powerful hook can make it difficult to shift backward and adjust range quickly, so I tend to keep it vertical with a tighter elbow.
I usually land with the lower knuckles, but I wear gloves a lot.
and I end up landing with my palm area about as often.
