The "J" type would be best to use I think.  The equation below is taken from
the ClockMod.inc:

 translate -y*DistDown // how far to lower the ball first
  rotate SwingAmount*(1 - pow(abs(clock * 2 - 1), 2))*z (-SwingAmount for left
end)
   translate x*DistOver // place at end of line of balls (-x for left end)

It produces a nice upswing toward the right.  Switch it around for the
opposite side.
Definitely get the ClockMod from Chris Colefax if you don't have it yet
though.
