[pct-l] North to South - NoBo-sentric?

I've done sections in either direction. The only issue I note is the
guidebook text is written for nobo. This really doesn't matter to me as I
copy the datapoints to the guidebook maps while reading the text before the
day's hike and then navigate using only the map. I'll also write key
directions one the map, such as if the author says a junction can be hard to
find or a scenic viewpoint just off the trail.

Maybe, but also it's all down hill going sobo. Just look at a globe! 
Also, Manning Park elevation 3,000 feet, Mexican border 2,915 feet. You save
85 feet of climbing by going sobo!
