I asked this question before, and Mats informed me that the standard way was to 
use \revert. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.devel/15886

I am personally indifferent to the two methods.  I see benefits to both.

It seems unlikely that one would want to change the settings on the figures 
more than once per piece of music, so it's not likely that using overrides for 
both *Up and *Down would cause a huge overhead in the props alist.
