Only really care of up,down or straight eye when tying small flies myself say 22 on down,with hooks that small even the eye can take-up hook gap space and you want as much hooking ability as possable on these tiny flies...what gets me is why it's so hard to find up eye hooks in these smaller sizes.

"I've often wondered why it is that so many anglers spend so much money on,and pay so much attention to.the details on the wrong end of the fly line.If they took as much care in selecting or tying their flies as they did in the selection of the reel and rod,They might be able to gain the real extra edge that makes it possible to fool a fish that has,in fact,seen it all before" A.K.Best
