The terms you're looking for are sidedraught (horizontal) and downdraught (vertical).
Sidedraughts are great for top-end power because they offer the shortest and most direct path from the throttle plates to the inlet valves, with no major changes of direction in between. This has some disadvantages in terms of bottom-end driveability and fuel economy, not to mention the extra manufacturing cost and space issues (they make the engine very wide), which is why downdraught carbs are much more common on production cars.
