Dunno much about the physics involved, but I do know that for practical purposes, either direction is easy to manage if you just remember to shove your top joint into your armpit for those five minutes before rehearsal starts. It warms up a cold oboe coming in from outside, and it insulates a warm outside oboe from suddenly freezing air conditioning.
I think that a warmed-up oboe inside a case will cool down (or warm up) slowly enough that it's not in danger of cracking, since it's insulated by the case, and the case itself has to cool down (or warm up) before the oboe does, so there's a temperature gradient established inside the case. It's when you suddenly expose the oboe itself, outside the case, to temperature differences that you run into trouble.
