Given your question, there's no possible answer. And quite frankly, the 
real answer may be "neither".  Snort configuration depends on a lot more 
than just what your router interfaces are.

What interface is snort running on, eth0 or eth1?
Is there address translation going on?
What are HOME_NET and EXTERNAL_NET defined as relative to your network?
Are you looking to pick up inbound attacks, outbound attacks, or both?
