For we "pseudo" clubmakers, the best thing to do is FLO the shaft, as The Saint said. It is a matter of opinion as to whether the stable plane be orientated 12 to 6 or 3 to 9, but both will work.
Tom Wishon spines all his Interflexx shafts and suggests that they be placed in the 3 to 9 plane, and his graphics are then painted on so that the markings be installed to 12 o'clock.

Floing has one set back. It does not tell which is the stiffer or softer plane unless you have a frequency meter. And as John kaufman puts it Nature always follows the path of least resistance. Most spiners prefer the stiff plane in the 12-6 position for that particular reason and also to control droop. That is how the term Supershaft came about. A shaft with a big spine lined up in the 12-6 position with lots of whip in the target direction. But then if you have good shafts why even bother.

When you get a shaft PURE'd (TM) you get a print out with the shaft that gives the following:
1. A graph of the relative stiffness of the shaft around it's circumference.
2. Two side by side plots. One of the oscillation profile for the logo up and one for the PURE'd position.
3. A table that gives the data you got from the web site.
So, if you believe that PURE'ing matters, then you should probably pull them and get them rotated. The FAQ on PUREing can be found here:

Geoff. Just to give you heads up. I measured your ex shaft in a frequency meter with the grip on and a 205 gram tip weight at 43 inches long. High frequency 273 low frequency 271. No severe wobble. Therefore not too much to worry about if not lined up directly on the logo.

Performance wise
It is worth it to have your shaft spined or its just a money grab again.
