Bevel faces top of piston. It even says in step 2 of the isntructions you posted .

A notch would face the bottom...which is probably what the guys you were talking with thought you meant.

I would always follow the manufacturers instructions since they make the product, they know how it should be installed. No offence to the "top engine builders" but if they're not following the manufacturers reccomendations then I'd be finding some new "top engine builders".

Top ring is bevel facing up and bottom ring is bevel facing down? Well mine do have dots on both of them and they do match the way I just said.

The top rings have brown paint on them correct?
