If you are talking about a sump return.... I ran mine all the way across the back of my 6' tank about 1" below the water surface. so... horizontal

A spray bar is basically a way of spreading flow over a greater area than just a plain hose.
If it's used in a sump it's usually to spread the water more evenly over filtration media. (so it sits horizontal)
If your using it in a tank it doesn't really matter which way it goes.
A lot of people mount them horizontal, on or above the water line to agitate the surface and help gas exchange.
A friend of mine runs one vertically aimed across the back of his tank which does a great job of blowing all the crap out from behind his rock work.
It's really up to you.
