Agreed regarding thick cork tape not playing nice with the tuck and plug method. But sounds like Rivet has sized their plug specifically to allow this so like Philip suggested I’d give it go with their recommended method first and see how it works for you.
One thing I found for direction of wrap however is that for the “roof shingle” effect it could depend on where you spend most of your time on the bars if running drops. if you spend more time IN the drops then end to stem will have the shingle facing front going into the hooks but same direction of wrap will then have the shingle facing rear up on the ramps... so if you are more of a hoods and ramps rider you may want to wrap stem to end to get that front facing overlap up top. I discovered that being an issue only when using some cotton tape for the 2nd or 3rd time and with the tackiness limited from the loss of glue... after only a few rides the tape was getting spread apart up on the ramps and it became less an issue after I redid and reversed the wrap since I knew I’d be on the ramps more for that particular build.
