'Unwarp Dir’ should correspond to the Readout (frequency encoding) direction 
for the ‘PreFreeSurferPipeline', in which case is the Z direction (Head - Foot) 
for the sagittal T1w/T2w HCP structural acquisitions. Not sure what you mean by 
"The only comment is that z appears best.” Below is what’s in 
PreFreeSurfer/PreFreeSurferPipeline.sh

  --unwarpdir={x, y, z}          Readout direction of the T1w and T2w images
                                           (Used with either a regular field 
map or a spin
                                           echo field map)
