Yes, I mean 2.
Think it visually, it's not related  to pitches but just direction of the
strikes: if flatpick is moving up, e.g. from first to second string, I need
an arrow up.
All the flatpicking scores I have use this notation.

If I understand well the rationale behind crosspicking¹,  the direction of
the strike depends on which string is the following note.
So you are free to pick the last note as you wish... I decided to keep the
"natural" direction.

Is it more clear now?
