They naturally climb so I’d say growing up is healthier.

They’ll be healthy either way. Staking them up will produce bigger leaves that you’ll forever be finding vertical space for. Letting them trail feels awesome. You’ll have to cut some eventually, probably, but it’s lower maintenance. Totally up to you!
