I don't think they make much difference. If the "direction" doesn't matter,
the following is much (!) faster as count($array) is calculated only once
and there's one expression less to evaluate:
for ( $i = count( $array ); $i--; )
{
// do useful stuff
}
OTOH, if the "useful stuff" takes a lot of time, the performance gain might
turn out to be negligible in comparison.

I think, "if...else" should be slightly faster as only one condition needs
to be evaluated.
