Which end of a quick draw do you use the rubber biner restrainer?...

Which end of a quick draw do you use the rubber biner restrainer? It's been many years since I was very active climbing, but in the past my take was, use the rubber band to secure the bolt biner, it improves the reach for clipping and allows the rope biner mobility to avoid the rope crossing the gate and unclipping and if there is a concern, the rope biner can be flipped (gate opening up) for greater safety, (almost certain protection from the rope crossing the gate and unclipping. With practice, a single finger in the bottom of the rope biner holds it secure for a solid clip.

rubber end goes on the rope. keeps the rope from walking the biner around, especially on wandering or sketchy/RO sport routes.
