More stable. Imagine hanging a lantern upside down.

I've never seen a spider hang motionless upside down. But when they are upside down, it's because the webs come from their rear, and they, being the heaviest part of the web, hang down because of gravity.
Spiders also like to wait in their webs in hidden places, like the upper corner of their web, so they do not alert any flying insects that come by.

About the only possible answer to this question,
at least from present knowledge, is just that that's
the way they happened to evolve. Actually they
don't all hang head down, some few hang head
up.
