For a constant-speed, constant G turn, the end point for a 360 will be the same. However, turning upwind will help for 180s.
Be careful, though... An initial turn upwind will result in a turn that is NOT of constant radius over the ground, and may be viewed as "decreasing performance" when turning downwind again (e.g., after 90 deg of turn if it started as a direct crosswind). The significant change in ground track and its effects on visual perception is the REAL cause of the dreaded "crosswind turn stall"...
