If you have a proper balun at the feedpoint, there isn't a "hot end."  It's a balanced dipole, until it isn't because one end is closer to the ground than the other, of course.

Quick question:  When mounting an inverted Vee antenna,  one end can end at a higher level (perhaps in a 
tree and the other end is lower) obviously the antenna will perform to some degree better.  However, is there 
any advantage to having the "hot end" higher and the "ground end" lower, compared to the 
opposite (ground end higher and hot end lower)?
