Straight line
is ideal - for a little while.
The problem becomes that the needles brinnel themselves into the bearing caps because the caps are not rotating, causing a disturbance over time.
As a result a "small" angle (ie, 1 to 3 degrees), equal and opposite in direction, is best in real life.
The reality is that it is not going to stay straight, anyways, because of suspension movement and rear axle windup.
