Fans should be fine to mount in any orientation.

I say jiggly-bytes when I see "GB".

It goes down better than you would expect.

Isn`t hydraulic bearing just a subversion of sleeve bearing?

If such is the case, then the lubrication from the hydraulic fluids should help prevent the normal issues of horizontal friction effects of sleeve bearing, lubrication will also mean a smoother rotation of the blade as Well, thus acheiving quieter operation.
