It seems we have two different trains of thought here.

Which one gives your partner more information? My way is best or it has always been done this way does little to advance ones euchre knowledge.

A better approach would have one team showing the higher card to his partner while the other team shows the lower. Of course, both members of a team would need to be on the same page.

Over a series of hands, it should be possible to determine the best outcome.
While it can be nice to rule out higher cards rather than lower cards, so that you know boss trumps can potentially only be in enemy hands (or buried) you're still ruling out the same amount of cards with either method, the key difference is that when you rule out lower cards, showing the left bower to your p's right bower lead signals you are 100% void of trump, while this only signals that you are void or could potentially have the ace with the higher method. I just can't see the potential advantage of ruling out higher trump being worth never knowing whether your partner is void if they show the left bower.
