Agree with nnw about walking in the mornings with the sun on you back but I believe the key reason for the E-W or W-E choice is logistics. If you have a vehicle then it makes sense to do it E-W as you need to leave the vehicle in AS and it is easier to hitch back from Sonder rather than try to hitch out to it. If you don't have a vehicle then it is cheaper to get a charter out to Sonder and place your drops on the way out.
I also agree with ribuck that the free download and print maps are adequate for the job.
