Almost all the time, on a horizontal instrument played with a bar, as close to level as you can manage makes your life easier.
YMMV.

Clark, there's one determining factor: your right hand wrist MUST NEITHER DIP NOR ARCH as you transition from arm to hand. If it does, extended playing time (like three or four 45 minute sets) will cause binding, numbness, etc.

I always slope mine slightly forward. For me it makes it easier on my wrists
