Unless you tie down the rear decklid, definitely forward. The latch really isn't designed for resisting highway speeds. Use tire tie-downs to allow for suspension travel. Don't use the tie down on the front for your primary securing point. It WILL bend under load. Haven't used a U-Haul trailer but remember these cars aren't very tall. Don't know if the wheels/fenders will interfere with opening the door.
