Emanuel, I find counterclokwise works best in that you wind up with the tape coming towards you at the top. That way when you ride on the top the way your hands move winds the tape tighter rather than loosening it. This, of course, assumes you get it right as you go around the brake levers.

It depends on which side of the stem one is on and whether one is in the Northern or the Southern hemisphere.
