Does it matter if you lay the meat side up or down? And do any of you cut the ribs in half and cook them?

I think it is purely based on your own preferences and cooking style. I know of a very good bbq cook who starts them bone side down and then flips them to meat side down halfway throught the cook.
I personally cook mine meat side up.

I cook mine meat side up. I can fit whole racks into my Elite, so I haven't had a need to cut them. If you cut them, it won't change the cooking dynamics or results.
Some folks will even hang them on rib hooks in the cs50, if you don't want to cut in half.
Beware of the juices that pool on top of the ribs if you cook them meat side down, it can be hot. Don't ask how I learned this, oh well.

Up and uncut.
