The upper part of the wing is the one "doing the job" of keeping the airplane airborne and the airflow there should be left as much as possible undisturbed, especially toward the trailing edge. Anything there could lead to the detachment of the boundary layer and the subsequent stall of the wing. If you can choose where to locate the hingesshroud, then on the belly of the wing is better.
