When cleft grafting and seeking maximum acceptance and early fruiting, does it matter if the scion wood comes from vertical or horizontal branches?

I've not read that it makes a difference, but my results suggest vertical is better. Anyone have any experience or knowledge about this?

I have found no difference. Just make sure it is from a fruiting tree.

Thanks Bouladou and Laaz for your thinking.

I had read that vertical scion/bud wood is better than horizonal branches for some fruit species (not citrus) because the vertical ones are more likely to have vegetative buds instead of flowering buds.

what about the branch which the bud is grafted to. Does it matter if the branch is vertical or horizontal?
