Best Orientation for SLA Printing

I have tried several prints and I always get warping on the underside where the supports are located.  I am trying to print a model hat printed with FDM.  What is the best orientation for a model like this:

Bit of a pain those chamfers. I'd probably go with a 50 degree rotation so the chamfer isn't too flat towards the plate. Then lots of fanned supports.

For RESIN printing I tend to try the orientation that looks like it would "drain" most efficiently while printing, second consideration is the orientation that requires the least support material, probably last on my priorities is print time, ......and yes, that does to toward me printing most things  "upright"  but I think it is worth it.
