Default catch can? before or after pcv valve?

What is the proper way to install a pcv catch can? I know it goes on the pcv line, but should it go in after the pcv valve or before it? I've searched and I've seen it done both ways. If it doesn't matter, which way would be better?

I'm sure it can go either way. I had mine after the PCV valve.
