I have been told both to water from the top and to water from the
bottom......which is correct?

Watering from the bottom is generally not a good idea because:
1. It tends to compact the soil and drive out the oxygen needed for
good plant health (possible exception, watering newly repotted plants from the
bottom might help settle loose soil [opinions differer])
2. if more than one plant shares the tub/basin, pathogens can be
spread from one plant to another.
