Another handy option might be one to flip bricks pointing down so that they

Not sure how this would look on the heads of animals, though.  Maybe a
tolerance so that any studs-down pieces within a certain percentage of
the bottom of the model are made studs up.  (Of course, that could
also be done with post-processing of the LDraw file.)

This is already an option!  Use the command line "-b 1" to get the bottom layer
of plates studs up instead of studs down.  Increase 1 to whatever number of
layers you want studs up (it'll do 5 layers at a time, so the next meaningful
layer command is "-b 6")  Also handy is "-d z" if your input mesh happens to use
a Z-up coordinate system instead of a Y-up coordinate system.  So if your models
are showing up rotated wrong, try that.
