LVP Installation Tips

We're having LVP installed on the entire 1st floor + the stairs & hallway pictured. I'm looking for feedback on two installation decisions.

First: Installer has given us two options for dealing with the railing.

  1. Cut the LVP around the foot of each attachment point, or
  2. Install the railing on top of the LVP.

I'm leaning towards opt 2

Second: Should the LVP direction stay the same for both sections of this hallway or should it change the direction so both sections have the LVP running lengthwise? The edges will all be running lengthwise because they're using stair nose if that makes any difference.
