Hmm...
I just checked my reloading bench. I have two bricks of Federal 209A shotshell primers, a brick of Federal 100 small pistol primers, a brick of Federal 200 small pistol magnum primers, 5 cartons of Federal Gold Metal Match 215 magnum primers, and a couple boxes of Winchester WLRM large rifle magnum primers.
My nod goes to Federal.
I've used over 5,000 Federal primers in my .357 since 2001 with no problems whatsoever.

Joe, I am told that the way they package is to avoid the possibility of primers igniting during shipment. Having seen the way both UPS and FedEx handle packages I would say that makes sense.
As I said, Wolf primers are upside down in the package - that makes no sense, to me, but I buy them when I can't get Federals.
Frankly I am more concerned about the way a primer does its job than I am about the nuances of packaging.
If you have some Federal large pistol primers and can't stand the package I will be glad to take them off your hands.

I buy Winchesters, because they are available in my area, they work and seat well, but most importantly, according to Winchester, they work for BOTH Magnum and Non-Magnum loads, so I only need to stock two pistol primers.
