upper control armor or lower to adjust pinion angle

Amen! Changing the pinion angle effectively changes the "caster" angle of the rear axle, which in turn rotates around the center of the LCA axle-side mount bolt (if adjusting the UCA) or around the UCA axle-side mount bolt (if adjusting the LCAs). Having both adjustable allows you to not only adjust the pinion angle, but completely recenter the axle laterally and longitudinally. Throw in an adjustable panhard rod and coilovers, and you've got as much adjustment as the average race car...

If you are not willing to do both, then either one is right, but not best. Simplest is upper (only one adjustment), but its not the easiest to adjust. Lower is easiest to adjust from an accessibility standpoint, but you have to adjust both sides with precision , else you will induce some rear axle steering.
If you go with spherical brg as suggested, expect to inherit more rear axle harshness and noise.
Have fun.
