I'd have to go with the muf (the top). The muffin top tends to have:
- A nice golden, slightly crispy exterior
- More surface area that gets caramelized
- Often where extras like streusel, sugar crystals, or chocolate chips concentrate
- That satisfying dome texture

The fin (bottom/stump) can be good too - it's usually more dense and moist - but it's often the part people leave behind, especially with those oversized bakery muffins.
That said, there's something to be said for eating a muffin as a complete experience rather than dissecting it! Though I fully support anyone who wants to employ the "top separation" strategy.
