Looking up will be a bigger problem for neck and will strain the eyes more.

The upper edge of the display should be on eye level: humans are much more comfortable looking down than up.

You are right, that looking down is more comfortable than looking up when sitting straight.

However, I like it better to look up than to look left or right and my reasoning is that it is symmetrical. Therefore, I prefer to have the secondary screen above the primary.
